Replace these components when you notice visible wear, cracks, stripped threads, or if the wheels feel loose or unresponsive. Keeping spare sets on hand allows you to perform immediate replacements during maintenance sessions.
• Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, the AS91418 is an official original equipment manufacturer part supplied by Team Associated.
