Help finding plastic TC shock parts

You may want to look into the Lunsford black ends. The rpm ends are longer and thicker than stock and can cause some suspension binding on the front end.

I worked around it because I wanted white ends.

So you got white rpm and it binds ?

Yeah on the front bulkhead there is only a little clearance between in inner camber adjustment and the steering bellcrank ball cups. The rpm heavy duty ballcups are thicker than the stock ones so it can cause binding. I think I used 2 original ball cups just in that area so everything clears. I also had to cut down the ballcups on the link in the center front of the steering as the RPM links are a bit to long.

A bunch of companies make original sized ball cups, but the only white ones are the RPM heavy duty.

My build thread is here. I think I figured out a good enough solution for the RPM ball cups.

Nice, I definitely want to get regular size cups then. I can find another use for the rpm ones. The problem I have is the retro Lunsford are 4-40

that shouldn't be a problem at all. Customworks makes some that should work just fine

Wow thanks so much ! You’ve been a huge help ! All the parts are now cleaned, just waiting on hardware to arrive before I can start the rebuild

You are welcome. The community here helped me a lot on my build when I first started. Be sure to post up pictures and progress.

Got done what I could today. New e clips and ball studs. Still waiting on the new hardware set and bearings.

That is looking quite nice. Really clean.
