Aluminium Damper Retainer for RC Shock Assemblies

The Yokomo YOKBDS3 aluminium damper retainer is an RC-scale replacement part intended to secure shock caps and retainers in small-scale damper assemblies. It is a simple machined aluminium component that organizes the interface between the shock cap and upper suspension mount without changing core damper internals.

Fit and installation are straightforward: confirm your shock cap and piston rod clearances before fitting, slide the retainer into position and secure using the original hardware. The retainer’s role is alignment and repeatability, helping keep the shock cap seated consistently during setup and after maintenance.

In tuning contexts, a rigid aluminium retainer can reduce minor play at the cap interface, which helps maintain consistent oil sealing and shim stack positioning during repeated runs. Routine checks for thread engagement and light lubrication on mating surfaces will preserve function and reduce wear.
