This hardened steel replacement shaft is produced for Sav13170 dampers used with HPI Savage 21 platforms and is supplied as 1 pr. It is intended as the internal rod component of the damper assembly for hobbyists and technicians performing maintenance and rebuilds.
Service requires disassembly of the Sav13170 unit, removal of the worn shaft, and measured reassembly. Inspect all seals, piston faces and bushings during the procedure; ensure the replacement shaft is straight and rotates smoothly within the damper to preserve consistent damping characteristics.
In repair and tuning workflows this shaft provides a direct replacement to retain damper geometry and travel after servicing. Fit it when straightness or surface condition of the original rod is compromised to prevent binding and uneven suspension response.
