Front shock tower overview

The Yokomo YZ-017GW1 front shock tower is a purpose-made 3.5mm graphite replacement for the Works'91 TeamSpec platform. The plate stabilizes damper movement and gives a firmer anchor for upper shock mounts, helping keep front suspension geometry consistent during heavy cornering and braking.

The 3.5mm graphite construction balances stiffness with low weight to produce crisper shock action without adding needless mass to the chassis. The part is contoured to accept the standard upper shock mounting positions used on the supported YZ-W91TS and YZ-W91 arrangements, allowing a direct swap with the factory tower.

Installation notes: the tower fastens to the existing shock tower posts and uses the same screws as the original board, so no extra hardware is normally needed when replacing like-for-like. During setup changes, technicians can use the tower to alter front roll center and leverage by choosing different upper mount holes and varying shock length or spring rates.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is the YZ-017GW1 a direct replacement for the stock tower?

Yes. The YZ-017GW1 is designed to mount directly to Works'91 TeamSpec YZ-W91TS and YZ-W91 shock posts using the original fasteners, with no modifications required.

Do I need different mounting hardware to fit this tower?

No additional screws are normally required; the plate uses the same mounting points and hardware as the factory tower for a straightforward swap.

Any special steps to avoid binding during installation?

Install with the chassis supported and tighten fasteners incrementally. Check shock shaft alignment through the full travel to confirm there is no binding after the tower is fitted.

Will this change how I set my shocks?

You may need to re-evaluate upper mount positions and spring choice since the stiffer mount alters shock leverage and front response; small step changes are recommended when testing.

Is the tower suitable for routine track use?

Yes. It is intended for 1/10 touring and similar on-road RC setups where Works'91 TeamSpec chassis are used, offering a durable upgrade for regular track sessions.
