Aluminium Damper Retainer for RC Shocks Yokomo YOKBDS3  [YOKBDS3]

Machined Aluminium Retainer for Shocks

The Yokomo YOKBDS3 aluminium damper retainer is an RC replacement component that secures shock caps and retainers on small damper assemblies. This machined aluminium part stabilizes the connection between the shock cap and the upper suspension mount without modifying internal damper parts.

To fit, check your shock cap and piston rod clearances, slide the retainer into place and fasten using the original screws. The device improves alignment and repeatability, ensuring the shock cap returns to the same seating after adjustments and service.

For tuning, a stiff aluminium retainer reduces minor cap movement which can help preserve oil seal integrity and consistent shim positioning during repeated runs. Routine checks of the threads and a light application of suitable lubricant on contact areas will extend component life and reliability.
