The Serpent 500896 Shock 13mm rod end +2 is a direct replacement set for SRX shock assemblies, supplied as four pieces per pack. These rod ends add a +2 offset to the 13mm shock link mounting position and allow subtle geometry tweaks without altering shock bodies or pistons.
Installation is straightforward for experienced builders: remove the end link or lower shock collar, replace the existing rod end with the 13mm +2 unit, and confirm free articulation through the suspension travel. The part mates with standard RC shock ball studs and common link hardware; always check thread engagement and ball stud fit before finalising assembly.
Tuning role: selecting a different rod end offset changes leverage on the shock shaft and can influence initial droop and mid-stroke behaviour. Use the +2 option when you want a slight rise in ride height or a small change in damping leverage without swapping springs or oil.
Keep a spare set on hand for quick geometry tests during setup, and inspect each joint for smooth movement after installation.
