Steering Columns & Engine Swing Arm Pivots for Scooters
- at SIP Scootershop
Steering columns, forks, head tubes - everything your handlebar heart desires. Steering columns are the link between tyres and handlebars on scooters. They make it possible to retrofit the chassis and brake. Spare and wear parts for the steering column and engine swing arm pivot are essential for perfect riding comfort. Steering columns of older models, for example, are often bent, rusted or warped. If you have poor straight-line stability or spongy handling, we recommend checking the upper and lower steering head bearings.

Steering head bearings & swingarm bearings
The bearing sets for the steering head and the suspension arm need to be replaced regularly. They wear out over time or fail, resulting in an unsafe riding experience. Tapered roller bearings can absorb higher forces and run more easily under pressure.
Steering columns & forks
Steering control tubes or forks are the connection between the handlebars and the rim. As a standard replacement part, they come mainly from OEM manufacturers. Reinforced forks are an essential part of chassis improvement. The standard forks are usually too weak and tend to sag.
Steering Dampers, Anti-Dive Systems & Engine Swing Arm Pivots
Engine swing arm pivots stabilise the existing chassis. Anti-dive kits prevent the shock absorbers from bottoming out, especially on smallframe Vespas. Steering dampers are mainly used in quartermile racing.
Rubber engine mounting bushes Engine swing arm pivot
Rubber engine mounting bushes reduce vibrations transmitted to the frame and are crucial for good handling. If you ride your scooter a lot, like to take curves often or put a lot of weight on it, you should definitely replace the rubber engine mounting bushes regularly. This goes without saying for racing scooters. Everyday riders will be amazed at how pleasant new rubber engine mounting bushes are to ride.

Customers ask - SIP answers
"When should steering head bearings be replaced?"
If you notice a game in the handlebars, the steering head bearings may be loose or worn, then it is imperative to check them. The bearings can be adjusted with a suitable steering head bearing wrench. If you want to be on the safe side, you should at least replace the bearing rings, but it is better to replace the entire unit including the bearing shells.
