Shock Pins
Shock pins are the small locking pins that hold shock absorbers and shock mounts securely in place, stopping the shock from working loose under load. They're a cheap, easy part to overlook until one goes missing or shears off mid-race.
Pins are sized by diameter and length, so check what your shock mount or rod end needs before ordering. Keep a few spares in the trailer, they're the sort of small part that's easy to lose in the pits.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know what size shock pin I need?
Match the pin to the diameter and length specified by your shock or mount hardware, checking against the pin you're replacing if possible.
Why do shock pins need replacing?
They can wear, bend or shear under repeated load, so it's worth checking them and carrying spares.
