Damnit. I'll just buy the whole shaft thenThey're permanently mounted to the shock shaft. Might be able to cut it off and use a small heim join in place of the ball joint, but you won't find just the plastic end.

How did that happen?
Actually these were the vvc shocks, and not the first gen shocks. I'm leaning towards it NOT being caused by no limiters, rather, I think it might have been dragging on the road (when I ran on road) a bit and just now I bashed it enough the tear the ball out. But limiters too, must have.Can happen in a violent flip with no suspension limiters. It was more common on the 1st gen Baja, which Z is running right now. Many of the durability issues he's seeing right now are a result of 1st gen problems, especially in the suspension components. Most of the models from the 5T onward were much more durable and used improved materials. That didn't stop us from recommending suspension limiters, but the risks were more reduced when the VVC/HD shocks came out.

Front is 4mm, rear is 6mm.Could definitely be the cause.
I thought you mentioned having 4mm shock shafts when you bent one a couple weeks ago. VVC shocks are a 6mm shaft.
The arm itself has wear too , like it was grinding on the road.So to clarify, you're running VVC in the rear, and OG shafts up front. Got it.
What do the bottoms of your rear arms look like? I mean, yeah, it looks like it was ground up from the underside, but those joints are fairly well protected by the lower arms.

Yep ? was the shock pistons too, drilled wayyy to big of holes in em. Think it's set up well now?Kinda like his springs were too weak ? at one point ?
What in specific? There's alot ?WTF?? HOW DOSE THAT HAPPEN?
