Fit SRX Shocks with Serpent 500450 Aluminium Caps

Hobbyists looking to tidy up and toughen their suspension will find the Serpent 500450 Aluminium Shock Bottom Caps an excellent match for SRX vehicles. Machined from 7075 T6 aluminium, they offer a precise, hard wearing seating for the shock assembly.

Durable Machining and Protective Finish

The black anodised finish helps protect the caps from abrasion while keeping a low profile on the car. Machining provides defined edges for easier handling when installing or removing the part, and helps the cap stay secure under heavy use.

Improved Rod Alignment and Responsiveness

These bottom caps are crafted to give the shock rod stable guidance, cutting down on lateral play and reducing friction. That improved alignment leads to crisper suspension response and steadier performance over rough ground.

Can I reuse my existing shock seals with these caps?

In most cases you can keep your current seals if they match the SRX spec and are in good condition. Inspect seals for wear before reassembly to avoid leaks or dirt ingress.

Are these caps heavier than plastic originals?

Aluminium parts are typically heavier than plastic, but 7075 T6 keeps strength high while limiting extra mass. For most drivers the weight trade off is worthwhile for improved durability.

Do they need thread locker when installed?

Use thread locker only if the original fitment called for it. Many bottom caps rely on press fit or retaining hardware; consult your SRX manual and apply low strength thread lock where recommended.

Will the anodised finish corrode in coastal conditions?

Anodising adds corrosion resistance but regular rinsing after salty runs is advised. Keep parts clean and dry to preserve the finish near the coast.
