- How often should I replace my shock pivot balls? — The replacement frequency depends on your driving intensity, track surface, and maintenance practices. Regular inspection during routine maintenance checks will help you identify when your balls show signs of wear, cracking, or excessive play, at which point replacement is recommended to maintain optimal suspension performance.
- Can I use these shock pivot balls on other Team Associated models? — Whilst the AS91819 is listed specifically for B6.1 and B74 models, Team Associated has produced many variants and generations of buggies over the years.
