This replacement connector is supplied with a 1.4mm wire damper spring at a 113mm free length for HPI Savage 21 shock units. The assembly functions as the linkage interface and provides a spring element designed for straightforward replacement and predictable stack behaviour.
Fitment requires verifying shock shaft diameter and spring retainer compatibility before assembly. The connector engages the shock linkage while the spring seats on the retainer; once installed confirm suspension travel and preload to validate expected motion and damping response.
In tuning practice this component changes stack stiffness and so affects damping and ride characteristics. Use it when adjusting ride height, tuning rebound, or replacing tired spring hardware to restore intended suspension performance.
