This black aluminum rear shock tower is an aftermarket replacement for the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 FZ02 chassis, intended to replace the OEM rear shock top mount and provide a more rigid mounting point for the rear suspension. The improved stiffness helps keep shock alignment consistent during setup and use.
Role in tuning: the tower acts as the fixed interface for shock bodies and upper mounts; upgrading to a precision aluminum tower reduces movement at the top mount and makes adjustments to spring rates, damper oil and mounting positions more repeatable. Install it to gain clearer suspension feedback or to replace a worn stock component.
Fitting steps: remove the original rear shock tower and fit this unit to the existing rear bulkhead and upper shock-mount locations on the Fazer Mk2 FZ02. Use suitable hex drivers to secure hardware, confirm alignment of shock shafts and upper mounting holes before final tightening, and ensure no interference with nearby parts.
Maintenance advice: routinely check mounting fasteners, clean mating surfaces prior to installation to ensure a flush fit, and inspect the tower after heavy track sessions for wear. The part is supplied in a black aluminum finish; check the product listing to confirm whether any mounting hardware is included.
