I read they are more consistent and last longer than the current ones

cool! Since it's the same part number, I guess we will have to wait until the current white versions dry up.

Default shock rebuild

how far out should the shaft rebound from the shock body when pushed up to the shock body after a rebuild?

Generally about 1/4 inch is good. Make sure the shaft bottoms out without any resistance. if you have too much air you will feel the pressure at the bottom.

Adding 1.5* toe is ALOT for the b4 and b44. Ive never needed that much. The .5* hubs are all u need for the b4. I run 1* on the t4 regularily. Why do you want the 1.5* on the b44? I cant imagine a 4whl being that loose.

Yeah that sounds about right. You could just order the new arm mounts that come with 2.5/3/3.5/4 degree toe in options and they are only $5. Otherwise yes the .5 hubs are a good tuning option for the B4.

i think the slipper nut is 4-40.... so the front axle (5-40) is not the same. if your really cheap, just put a dab of locktite on the threads.... i did that once before a qual and it worked out quite nicely

Default answer this

What size are the front and rear axles on the t4.1. 1/4 or 3/16''?

Has anyone ran black springs on the rear? I cant find any. Is it normal for the rear springs to touch the camber linkage? Please share any tips you have come up that only requires work not buying anything.. cya in the pits.
