I have a new part for AE shocks that works well. Its a bushing kit that replaces the stock shock bushing with a CNC machined bushing that guides the shock shaft correctly. Stock shock bushing has over .030 clearance between it and the shock shaft so this leaves the orings to do all the work of a bushing. My bushings have a .002 clearance and are machined from a Ultra slick material. We have found that the car is more consistant and seals last longer as they do not have to hold the side to side movement of the shock shaft. Shock oil stays cleaner also.
