Proline Scaler Shocks Bushing/Standoff?

[jeff22]

I have a set of proline scaler shocks on my trail honcho. I have started to notice that top of the shocks are sometimes coming off the truck.

There is a bushing that mounts into the top shock mount that you then put a screw through to attach it to the truck.

It seems like the screw head isn't large enough and the bushing will pull through the top shock mount which causes the shock top to disconnect from the truck.

Has anyone else seen this issue with the top of the shocks disconnecting from the truck? Is there a better bushing to put in the top shock mounts i can buy?

on mine i put a washer on the outside. a friend put rubber axial shock mounts in. both work fine.

Washer on the outside did it for me.

Cool i thought about trying a washer but wasn't sure that would work, I'll try that next.

I used a plastic shock/link bushing left over from SCX kit in the top of each shock, the kit aluminum standoff spacer between the flat wide end of plastic bushing and a 3mm flat washer under head of screw to keep shock from falling off end.
