This black shock spring, stamped volume 5.0, is intended for pitching dampers on 1/12-scale competition on-road cars and serves as a direct replacement for YR-X12-series pitching springs. It provides a discrete spring element to influence nose dive and pitch reaction under acceleration and braking.
Installation follows standard damper service practice: split the pitching damper, remove the old spring, fit the Yokomo YX-40SBK into the retainer, then reassemble and verify free travel. You will only need common damper tools to complete the swap.
Use the YX-40SBK as part of an overall tuning plan; its volume 5.0 classification indicates its intended stiffness range within Yokomo spring options. Adjust damper oil and piston selections in combination with this spring to refine front-end balance.
