Precision Top Nut for Tuned Suspensions

The Serpent 402018 Shock Top Nut is crafted to keep shock rods precisely located within the suspension assembly, helping to preserve settings and consistent damping. Its finish and fit support repeatable setup for both track and practice sessions.

Installation and Care Tips

Designed to match Serpent shock hardware, the 402018 Shock Top Nut secures the upper shock mount so adjustments stay true to your setup. Regular checks after hard impacts will help you catch any looseness or thread wear before it affects handling.

Is the 402018 suitable for road and off-road use?

Yes, the 402018 is intended to work in varied conditions provided it matches the shock geometry. Ensure the nut matches your shock model and maintain regular inspections after rough runs.

How do I check for thread damage?

Visually inspect threads for flattening, burrs or corrosion. Run the nut onto a spare rod by hand; if it binds or feels loose, replace it to avoid failure during use.

Should I use any lubricant or coating?

A light application of dry lubricant can reduce wear without attracting grit. Avoid heavy greases that collect dirt and consider a minimal removable thread locker for high-vibration setups.

Are spares easy to source when I need replacements?

Replacement 402018 parts are typically available from Serpent dealers and specialist retailers. Keeping a spare set in your toolbox is recommended to avoid downtime between sessions.

Will swapping to different top nuts change handling?

Altering top nut design or height can affect spring preload and upper mount geometry, which in turn changes handling. Make incremental changes and record settings to compare results.
