So we managed to get the cars out for a final run yesterday.
Finished the day with a couple breaks.
Baja 1: right rear a-arm keeps bottoming out and something wore down the lower shock end... so out pops the shock... also, inner hex of wheel is no longer a hex...
Baja 2: right rear a-arm bottoms out and the bolt holding the shock pops through the a-arm...
So looks like I will be starting a tear down, clean everything, rebuild the diffs, rebuild shocks and have everything ready for spring...
Will start a DDM order and figure out everything I need.
So, first question: what are recommendations for the shock ends? Can you just get new shock ends, or do you have to get the whole shock shaft?
2nd question: I have a set of new wheels, just wondering how long to wheels usually last before the inner hex gets chewed up?
