Kraton Does my shocks have the correct shock ball?

Hmmm what part #?..

I don't know the part number.

 

[N.Mango]

Wow. I guess they’re handling it? Good luck, “Nat.”

I'm NOT ashamed of "Nathan"...but people know me as Nate, so I hide Nathan. I know it's mental, but it's me so....

Hey @N.Mango how did it go on this? Updated part #?

I haven't put them on yet. But just by their looks, I think they'll do the trick.
They aren't flat like the others. They have an actual ball shape.

Mind sharing the part number? Thanks!

No prob!
These new ones definitely have more shape to them, compared to the ones that came with the rig.
If, by some chance, they don't fix the issue, I'll just stick to my DIY fix and add a layer of shrink tube to fill the gap.

Hey @N.Mango did you get a chance to try those new rubber bushings? I am exhibiting really bad play in the shock/standoffs as well. It looks like I have the rubber ones you received.

Wonder if the old plastic balls also work..

So sorry. No, I didn't try them yet.
I'll try them out tonight and let you know.

All play is gone!

I noticed that one of my shock caps has "EXB" printed on only one side, while the other three have it printed on both sides.
It's trivial, but it kinda bugs me.

Does yours have it printed on both sides?

They are all printed on both sides but umm.. Due to some repairs, one of my shocks is black and the rest are red.
