I fill the shock, compress the shaft a few times (to get the bubbles out) and let it sit for a couple of minutes, place the cap on without the bleeder screw in compress the shock slowly to the top then screw in the bleeder screw. Then I compress the shock multiple times, then done. Some people bleed the shocks an extra time after performing these steps. I do all of this with the shock off the car completely. Youtube has some videos you can watch.

Help me out here - stock front axle vs clamping hex front axle?

I like the stock until JC comes out with either a titanium one, or decides not to make one, then I will go with the clamping from AE

Mechanically what is the advantage of the clamping hex axle over the stock, if any?

Only thing I can think of is the retaining screw backing out if the stock axle.

That, and I feel less load on the hex being that the axle will still be steel but not have the hex welded on.

or pressed out thinly, either way the axle will innevitably be stronger as well as the hex.

Thats alot of work every time i run it to bleed the air because i changed to b4 shock shafts. I'll take a bath on the new shafts and leave the stock shafts in.

Ya, Matt said to stay with the kit shafts for now so that's what I'll do, once you've done it a few times it only takes about 20 minutes at the track to do.

If your at 702 i bleed mine about once a week, not very difficult.

Will not take long before the shaft gets scuffed and makes for more stick.
Polishing is not a great solution , just wears the shaft smaller & makes for more leaking.

The gold coating is harder then steel, smoother & wears the best.

Just make sure to buy the correct coated shafts from Ae and not the old b4 shafts.

Question to anyone that has installed the aluminum C & D mounts. I understand the C inserts but what do the D inserts do? They are either facing in or out. Seems they would alter the toe-in/out. Inquiring minds want to know......

I'm guessing c and d will work out where one it anti-squat and one is toe in.....

or maybe we'll be able to adjust track width......I have the mounts but no C'''pills.

I hate Tower Hobbies with a passion but they were the only ones that had parts available. I got front arms, steering and caster blocks, a front shock tower and front axles. They all said limited quantities so if you need parts, get on it. Just a quick PSA. Carry on.
