XRAY 358043-G Composite Shock Bushing & Shim (Graphite, 2+2)  [XR-358043-G]

Composite Shock Bushing & Shim

This is a set of composite-molded shock bushings and shims designed for RC suspension use. The parts are produced from a graphite composite mixture to provide durable, low-friction interfaces inside shock assemblies. The kit is supplied as a 2+2 set intended for scale car shock maintenance and tuning.

Installation is straightforward: replace worn or binding internal bushings with these components to restore free piston and shaft movement. The graphite composite reduces sticking in dusty conditions and helps maintain consistent shock action without changing damper geometry. Use standard shock disassembly procedures and check fit on the shock shaft and piston before final reassembly.

Tuning role: these bushings and shims act as low-friction contact points that influence how smoothly the shock shaft slides, which can affect damping feel and response. For setup work, consider them when troubleshooting inconsistent rebound or binding during travel, and pair with appropriate shock oil and springs for expected behavior.
