Anyone have a source for replacement shock rubbers for the CE shocks?

I would like to try urethane this time around.

Is it just camera distortion or are the lower shock eyes distorted oval?

If thats the case....urethane....while it will not get beat out as quickly.....will distort those eyes even quicker. It has about 5X the compression/rebound load force of standard 55 durometer buna-N.

Not saying not to use urethane for your application at all.....just that somethimg is overloading the lower eyes. This can also happen if they they are mounted out of plane so you have a twisting load in more than one axis on the lower eyes. Ray

Urethane is great for skateboard wheels. Everything Ive tried automotive wise cracks and fails pretty quickly.

Measure the eyelets and summit or jegs will have them.
