Steeda's S550 Billet Rear Shock Mounts Are Finally Here!

Specs

Any idea what size the adjustable RTR Tactical Shocks are? I ordered the 12mm mounts. I guess I should have waited, but didn't want to miss the sale.

Hello B. Crowder,

We'll check on that for you ... but I don't see it first glance on our cheat sheet for sizes.

It may be best to follow-up with RTR & get the size.

Best Regards,

TJ

It's extremely likely you ordered the correct ones.

@BmacIL I think you are seeing what I am seeing. I might feel a bit disheartened seeing these RTR adjustables after having the Pro Actions.

I recently received and installed my shock mounts and like a few of you, I'm getting that slight clunk/noise on one side at low speed going over small bumps in the road. I noticed before installing them that the mount making the noise has a significantly looser bearing than the quiet one. As in it takes almost no effort at all to move the mount when connected to the shock, sort of floppy. Top nuts are tightened the same. Four mounting bolts also tightened to specified torque.

Can a looser bearing be the cause of the noise, or is something else going on?

Any update? I talked to Jani on 8/28 and called John on 8/29 and was told I'd be contacted about it. Just don't want to bug you guys every week lol

Mine seem to be getting worse. They definitely sound like they are loose. It's bit scary driving to work sounding like something is going to fall off back there. I'm going to put a torque wrench on them this weekend to make sure they are still tight.

@Steeda Tech I'll let you know how things go this weekend taking them apart again.

This is a installation problem that seems to come up quite often. I had this problem with my installation. See post#127 pg 9 of this thread. This is something that should be covered in Steeda's install instructions but is not. You cannot torque the lock nut properly without holding the shock shaft with a closed end wrench at the same time. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwabe...46sch01a-03/?gclid=CPPIm7_W6NECFYdrfgodRqsOJg

Agreed. I am a Steeda fan, but there is no excuse to have the most likely problem 1) not covered by the instructions and 2) not providing the special tool to mitigate it.

I still think they could source the open side socket or offset wrench in bulk for cheap. Or redesign the top of the mount and nut to work with a regular box end wrench.
