Long story but I'm looking to replace the part in the image below. It threads onto the main shaft of the shock. The shock itself is fine but as you can see, the top part has seen better days. I have a pre-paid racing event in two weeks and need to get this sorted.

That's intresting....
Im assuming you have contacted the maker of the shock?

I agree..........I've never seen anything like that, before.

Longer story is I hit a pothole in the shutdown area at the dragstrip. It didn't feel as bad as it looks. The wheels and rest of the suspension is fine. The shock rod came out of the hole after busting the upper rubber.

I identified this issue yesterday (Saturday) after swapping wheels and taking the car for a ride. I obviously didn't notice the problem until I got a few hundred feet from the house.

No one is open on Saturday so I will try to get the piece on Monday. I wasn't able to locate a part number and hate to replace the whole damn shock for this one piece.

You can probably get something equivalent at Speedway Motors or a circle track shop. QA1 has adapters and shock extenders that look like that.

You're been missing the dogbone isolator piece that fits down in the upper mount that keeps that from happening. Make sure you put a new one in or it'll happen again.

I got everything sorted out and repaired. The replacement end offered by QA1 works but is a little on the shorter side. In any event, I'm ready to race this weekend!
