I used these on my eb48 2.1. I think they came from Lowe’s.

I used those on the rear shocks. I don’t remember if I used smaller ones on the front. Or if I didn’t use anything.
Though I've had that Dogbone come out on the front axles, usually that's because of a broken lower control arm? Shocks and diffs are probably "due" for an "oil change", so I'll put spacers in the rears and check the fronts. Also have some adjustment in the shock tower mount holes if the spacer is not exact - I think I'll line up the shock at full extension and see what holes line up (w/lower control arm resting against the droop stop screw)?...

Thanks, I'll keep you posted. Probably won't race next weekend, so will have a couple weeks to tear it down, buy parts, and put her back together.
 
I'm going to "change the fluids" and replace parts. Even though that is a new clutch bell/shoes/springs on the rebuilt motor, I'll replace the bearings? When I was trying to "limp it" back to the pits, with the front Dogbone bound-up, you can see that the clutch bell got "(red)-hot", as evidenced by the blue color?...

So Blessed, Candace likes me (because of my Focus ST). ;) BlazeRC posted the race photos she took on her page - three photos of "Say When" (when it wasn't broken)!...

You could sell that clutch bell as a rare AE 'Factory Team blue' clutch bell on Ebay.
Big bucks I bet! ;) 🤣
