Serpent 500896 Shock 13mm rod end +2 (4) SRX  [SER500896]

Shock rod end for SRX shocks

The Serpent 500896 Shock 13mm rod end +2 is a direct replacement set intended for use on SRX shock assemblies, supplied as four pcs per pack. These rod ends provide a +2 offset in the 13mm shock link position and are intended for fine adjustments to damping geometry without modifying shock bodies or pistons.

Installation is straightforward for experienced builders: remove the end link or lower shock collar, swap the existing rod end for the 13mm +2 piece, and verify free movement through the suspension travel. The part is meant to interface with standard RC shock ball studs and common link hardware; check thread fit and engagement before final assembly.

Tuning role: changing rod end length or offset alters leverage on the shock shaft and can subtly affect initial droop and mid-stroke response. Use this +2 option when you need a minor increase in ride height or slightly altered damping leverage without changing spring rates or shock oil viscosity.

Keep a small set of spare rod ends in your toolkit to test incremental geometry changes during setup sessions, and always check for smooth articulation after installation.
