Stiffen Your Sakura D5S with a Robust Aluminium Upper Mount

The 3Racing SAK-D5617 Aluminum Upper Suspension Mount is shaped to fit the Sakura D5S chassis and adds robust support to the upper suspension. Upgrading to aluminium reduces flex where it matters and helps keep suspension geometry consistent during spirited driving.

Why Aluminium Works Well in Suspension Parts

Aluminium balances low mass with increased toughness, which is why many hobbyists upgrade these wear items. The SAK-D5617 stands up better to repeated impacts and retains alignment, giving more predictable steering and reduced replacement frequency.

Installation and Compatibility Tips

Designed specifically for the Sakura D5S, this mount installs using the original mounting points. Follow basic fitting steps and torque fasteners to spec to ensure correct alignment when swapping from plastic to aluminium.

Suitability for Track and Garage Maintenance

Whether used for practice laps or routine maintenance, the 3Racing SAK-D5617 makes the D5S easier to set up and maintain. Its stronger construction trims down routine repairs and keeps you focused on setup and driving lines.

Yes, the SAK-D5617 is compatible with standard Sakura D5S upper links and shocks, but check clearances during installation.
A slightly stiffer front end can change feel; expect crisper steering response and fewer small deflections under load. Small setup tweaks may be needed.
Use a mild threadlocker on metal fasteners if you race hard, but avoid high strength compounds that make future service difficult.
