Axon silicone shock & differential O-rings

Japanese company Axon have introduced new silicone shock and differential O-rings for a range of vehicles. The P3-size shock and P5-size differential O-ring seals are made using a special silicone material that is less prone to swell under the influence of silicone fluids while also making for exceptional sealing, greatly reducing leaking issues. On top of this the silicone rubber reduces the friction between the shafts and the rings, making for a softer break-away and overall smoother damper and diff action. The P3 shock seals are available as soft and medium hardness variant in 8-piece packs while the P5 diff seal comes in 2-piece packs.
