There are tiny bearings in the shock end and the brass things are bushings to act as spacers to fit in the rocker arms properly. My bearings eventually failed after a couple years, so I used a vice to press some 3mm spacers into the hole, and just ditch the bushings. They were the spacers included w/ the tie rods for the bearing carriers for bumpstop adjustments. I only ever used one setting (the tall hollow ball) and put the spacers to use.
