| shock bushings
I think I got a leak in my shocks. I picked up a round of aluminum shock bodies (integy) and replaced the plastic but I think the lower rubber seal is worn out and therefore leaking. Any idea on where to pick up that rubber o ring. i am wondering if this is something I can pick up at home depot or am I off to spend some money? Thanks |

Stock Axial shocks? The o-rings are pretty cheap. You can get the part numbers out of the owner's manual.

Integy sucks, you were better off with the stock Axials. If you've got a Fastenal near you, they usually stock orings in many sizes. They may have what you need. |

I picked up a set of the Axial Comp Shocks, and the O-ring is the wrong size right out of the bag. I went to the hardware store, and found replacements in the plumbing section. Put one together tonight, and so far so good. . |

| I did not realize it takes TWO
I didn't realize it takes two bushings at the lower ends of the shocks. Figured that out the hard way last night. I purchased a new bushing set but they are pretty hard when it came down to it.
