Arrowmax supplies hardened replacement shafts tailored for XRAY RX8 shock absorbers, delivered as a matched set for consistent behaviour front to rear. Manufactured from spring steel and finished with titanium nitride, these shafts reduce internal friction and slow wear in the piston assembly.
They are made as direct swap parts for RX8 shock kits and aim to stabilise damping response while extending shaft life compared to plain steel. With lower surface friction the shock oil and seals operate more uniformly, improving repeatability when fine tuning.
Fitting uses standard shock rebuild steps: remove the cap and piston, extract the old shaft, fit the new shaft checking it is straight and glides smoothly, then reassemble and test travel and seals. Confirm piston and bushing fit as well as overall shock length before sealing.
These coated shafts offer a low-effort upgrade for RX8 owners who want reduced internal friction and longer-lasting shock components.
