Arrowmax has produced a matched set of hardened shafts for XRAY RX8 shock absorbers, supplied to improve wheel-to-wheel balance. Fabricated from spring steel and finished with titanium nitride, these shafts help reduce internal friction and limit wear on the piston rod.
Offered as direct replacement parts for RX8 shock kits, the AM-RX8-308361 shafts aim to deliver steadier damping and longer service life than untreated shafts. The smoother surface reduces drag so oil flow and seals behave more predictably, aiding repeatable setup work.
Fitment follows normal shock servicing: remove the top cap and piston, swap in the new shaft checking for straightness and smooth movement, then reassemble and confirm seal seating and travel. Always verify piston and bushing compatibility before completing the rebuild.
For RX8 drivers wanting reduced friction and longer-lasting shafts, these TiN coated replacements are a simple upgrade that supports consistent suspension behaviour and lower upkeep.
