Tamiya DF01 Front Shock Tower DF1028 Technical Replacement by GPM  [DF1028]

Technical Notes - Front Shock Tower DF1028

This DF1028 front shock tower is produced for compatibility with the Tamiya DF01 chassis and is intended as an aftermarket replacement. It acts as the structural mounting interface for the front shock absorbers and aligns with DF01 suspension geometry to restore correct mounting locations.

Supplied as 1 pcs, the component reinstates the original attachment points between shock bodies and front uprights and is suitable for repair work or incremental setup trials that alter shock leverage and angle. Inspect fit at the standard DF01 front mounts and confirm alignment before completing reassembly.

During installation, verify shock shaft parallelism and re-establish preload and ride height settings as part of the setup process, since tower position has a direct effect on front-end response and handling balance.

Use this DF1028 tower when restoring DF01 front mounting geometry or when testing minor changes to shock mount position during setup and tuning operations.
