Always verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.
- Can I install these shock towers myself? — Yes, these shock towers are designed for user installation and are precision-manufactured for consistent fit. However, if you're unfamiliar with ARRMA chassis assembly, we recommend consulting the vehicle manual or seeking assistance from our team at RC Model Shop to ensure proper installation and suspension geometry.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, the Z-ARA-1602 is a genuine ARRMA OEM spare part. As an authorised ARRMA retailer, RC Model Shop supplies only authentic components that meet ARRMA's quality standards and specifications.

- How often should I replace my shock towers? — Shock towers typically last a long time with proper maintenance. You should consider replacement if you notice cracks, permanent bending, stripped mounting holes or if your vehicle's handling has changed significantly. Regular inspections during routine servicing will help identify when replacement is needed.
- Do these shock towers come pre-assembled? — Yes, both the front and rear shock tower assemblies come fully integrated with their associated gearbox covers and mounting components, ready for installation onto your chassis.
