This component is a rear shock coil designed for R/C suspension systems and offered as a spare part for rear shock assemblies. It fits into standard shock cartridges and towers when the spring outer diameter and seat configuration are compatible.
In use, the coil adjusts rebound, compression and rear squat characteristics; changing rate or preload alters ride height, midstroke support and bottoming resistance. Consider it a tuning element within a broader setup rather than a single fix for balance problems.
To install: remove the shock, relieve preload, slide the coil over the shock shaft and reposition retainers to set preload. Inspect mounting points and the shaft for wear before refitting, and confirm full free stroke after assembly to avoid binding issues.
Tuning advice: vary preload to affect initial stiffness and ride height, choose different rates to suit track conditions, and combine spring swaps with oil and piston adjustments to keep behaviour consistent throughout travel.
