Durable aluminium ball connectors for refined damper action

The Tamiya 42231 aluminium ball connectors are a straightforward upgrade for builders wanting steadier suspension movement. Manufactured from robust aluminium and finished to lower friction, these connectors help TRF dampers operate with less binding and are suitable for setups using carbon damper stays like the TRF417X.

Main advantages

Durable Construction: Aluminium construction holds shape under load to maintain reliable linkage geometry.
Low-Friction Coating: A treated surface reduces friction for smoother damper articulation and predictable feedback.
Compatibility: Intended for vehicles fitted with TRF dampers and carbon damper stays, including TRF417X-type arrangements.
Set of Four: Four connectors provided to cover standard damper mount points on most models.

Are these a direct replacement for plastic ball ends?

Yes, they are designed to replace common plastic ball ends on TRF-style dampers. Expect improved durability and reduced wear compared with plastic originals.

Do I need to change other parts when fitting these?

Usually no other parts are required. Check the mating ball cup and ensure the damper rod end seats cleanly. Minor adjustments to linkage geometry may be needed on some cars.

What are the signs they need replacing?

Replace them if you see excess play, visible scoring on the ball surface, or if the suspension starts to feel inconsistent. Regular inspection after intense running is recommended.
