Yokomo YOKBDS3 RC Damper Retainer, Aluminium  [YOKBDS3]

RC Damper Retainer — Aluminium

The Yokomo YOKBDS3 aluminium damper retainer is a replacement component intended to keep shock caps and retainers secured in small RC damper assemblies. This machined aluminium piece arranges the contact area between the shock cap and upper suspension mount while leaving internal damper components unmodified.

Fitting is simple: verify shock cap diameter and piston rod clearance before installation, position the retainer and secure it using the original fasteners. The retainer promotes alignment and repeatability so the cap seats consistently after setup and maintenance tasks.

In tuning scenarios, a rigid aluminium retainer can reduce slight cap movement, supporting steady oil sealing and stable shim stacks over multiple runs. Regular inspection of thread engagement and light lubrication on mating faces will help prevent wear and preserve reliable operation.
