Avid A800 Aura driveline bearing kit & Ti ball studs

Avid A800 Aura driveline bearing kit & Ti ball studs

Coming from Avid and made for Awesomatix’ A800 touring car are the Aura driveline bearing kit and the titanium ballstud conversion. Starting with the bearing kit, included are a total of 14 ceramic ball races that utilise Si3N4 ceramic balls for smooth rotation and reduced drivetrain drag. The ball bearings come lubed with high-speed AeroShell light oil to further reduce friction. Please note that above image is just a sample with the actual set containing differing sizes and also shielded bearings.

Also new for the A800 is the Avid titanium ball stud conversion that includes 18 pieces to minimise weight without sacrificing strength. It does require to get 4.9mm ballcups from either Xray or ARC but scrubs about 40 percent of weight compared to the stock steel ball studs. Included are one 4.9x5mm ball stud for the steering rack, six 4.9x6mm examples for the inner/outer front toe link and rear inner toe link as well as eleven 4.9x8mm ball studs for the front/rear inner upper arm, rear outer toe link, and the servo arm.
