Ok guys, I've done some extensive work in the shock department I'd like to share with you all... the molded shock rod ends on the shock shafts drives me nuts! Break one and of course the shock needs to be torn down, be nice to change just the rod ends.. so here it is, info for a way to have normal shafts with threaded rod ends...
4s stock or hr shock bodies on 4s rigs)
Fronts) 4x61 shafts #AR330496
Perch and rod end set #AR330203
Rears) 4x71.5 shafts #Z-AR330497
Perch and rod end set #AR330203
You will also need the socket balls, I use this kit by HR products)
#ATF160B02
4s stock or hr shock bodies on 3s rigs)
Fronts) 4x57 shafts #AR330477
Perch and rod end set #AR330203
Rears) 4x64.5 shafts #AR330479
Perch and rod end set #AR330203
Same deal, will need the socket balls by HR) #ATF160B02
Use the factory 4s springs on either setup.. also use the factory 4s pistons.. the shaft hole in the piston must be increased in diameter to at least 3mm to fit on the new shafts you can use a #30 drill bit or bore it with a body reamer gently from each side.. factory steel washer for the piston now goes on top of the piston.. gently snug the lock nut until the piston seats on the machined land of the shaft...
6s outcast shock bodies on 4s rigs)
Front) 4x57 shafts #AR330477
perch and rod end set #AR330338
Rear) 4x59.5 shafts #Z-AR330512
perch and rod end set #AR330338
use the large nero rod ends out of the #AR330338 kit for extra durability, and keep the others as spares just incase...
Again the HR socket balls #ATF160B02
I will expand on this list, mainly in the 3s line next.. it gets us away from having to buy new shafts and rip shocks apart just because we broke a rod end.. quite silly if you ask me... hope this helps some of you guys.. I know I'm loving the upgrade...
