Upgrade Shock Tower for TA01/TA02

This aluminium front shock tower is a direct-fit replacement for the Tamiya TA01 and TA02 plastic tower. With a gun metal machined finish, it offers a firmer mounting location for the front suspension components.

Install using the original TA01/TA02 mounting points and screws where applicable. During fitment, check shock eyelet alignment, steering geometry, and suspension clearance so that nothing binds during travel.

Using an aluminium tower as an upgrade reduces flex at the shock mounts, which helps make spring and damper changes more predictable and shortens the time needed to fine-tune handling on track or bench tests.

Is special hardware required to fit this part?

Most installations use the TA01/TA02 factory hardware. If alternative screws are provided, ensure they match thread pitch and length before final assembly.

How will this affect steering feel?

A firmer tower can sharpen front-end response and make steering feedback crisper; you may need to tweak toe, camber and damper tune to get the desired handling balance.

What checks should I do after installing the tower?

After fitting, confirm full suspension travel, check for any interference with steering parts, and re-evaluate damper and spring settings to account for the reduced flex.
