Track-Focused Upper Shock Covers

The 3Racing SAK-X28C aluminium oil shock upper covers are manufactured to tighten shock top tolerances and reduce deformation under load on the Sakura XI platform. Using 7075 aluminium improves structural rigidity at the upper mount without altering internal shock geometry. The set contains four machined covers, allowing precise and repeatable damper setup across all four corners.

Technical Highlights for Competitive Use

  • Material: 7075 aluminium for high yield strength and fatigue resistance
  • Design Fit: CNC-friendly profile matched to Sakura XI upper cap interface
  • Functional Gain: Preserves shock alignment and consistency during aggressive runs
  • Supply: Four precision covers for uniform shock top behaviour

What tolerance checks should I perform after fitting?

Verify axial clearance on the piston rod and ensure the cover does not contact the spring or shock body. Check shock stroke through full travel to confirm no binding occurs.

Do these covers require shims for optimal alignment?

Shims are rarely necessary if the OEM mounting points are straight. For precision setups, use thin shims to correct any minor misalignment between shock and tower mounting faces.

Any recommended maintenance after track sessions?

Inspect cover mounting surfaces for nicks or burrs, clean sealing faces, and re-torque fasteners to spec. Replace any damaged O-rings and check that anodised finishes remain intact to prevent corrosion.
