BD7-2014 SLF Precision Shock Shaft for Tuning - Yokomo YOKB7-S5N  [YOKB7-S5N]

Precision guide shaft for BD7-2014 SLF shocks

This component is an RC shock shaft intended for BD7-2014 SLF normal shocks, provided as a replacement during damper rebuilds. Its purpose is to give a straight, low-friction guide for the piston inside SLF normal shocks on touring car dampers, helping maintain a predictable damping baseline.

Service steps follow common damper maintenance: drain the shock, remove cap and spring, extract internals, and replace the old shaft with the YOKB7-S5N. Recheck seal alignment and retainer seating when reassembling to avoid leaks and ensure consistent damping. Avoid forcing parts and confirm smooth, even travel before final assembly.

For tuning the shaft plays a role in friction and runout; a clean, straight shaft helps keep damping repeatable and makes small setup changes more predictable. Regularly inspect and replace the shaft if you notice burrs, bends, or corrosion to keep handling consistent.
