Lightweight Strength for Your 966 Chassis

The Serpent 903317 Aluminum Bearing Block is tailored for the 966 chassis and combines ruggedness with low mass. Precision-machined aluminium helps keep bearings aligned and reduces unwanted movement, giving a more connected feel through turns.

Why Aluminium Works Well Here

Aluminium is valued for being both stiff and light, which helps components hold their shape under load without adding bulk. The Serpent 903317 Bearing Block uses these benefits to improve bearing life and steering consistency on race day.

Fitment and Care Advice for Hobbyists

Fit the Serpent 903317 by ensuring all mounting points are clean and threaded holes are clear. Check the block and bearings after heavy use and retighten fasteners as part of routine upkeep.

Is the Serpent 903317 compatible with vintage 966 kits?

Compatibility depends on the vintage kit revision. Some early 966 variants may need slight adjustments; verify mounting dimensions before installation.

Does this reduce play at the axle?

Yes, the machined aluminium surface helps maintain bearing seating and reduces lateral play compared to softer housings.

Should I use thread lock on the screws?

Light use of thread lock on steel-to-aluminium fasteners is common to prevent loosening, but avoid overapplication which can make future servicing harder.

How often should I inspect this part?

Inspect after high-stress events and as part of regular maintenance. Look for loose fasteners, bearing play, and surface damage.
