Track rub on shock?

[Apex809]

Has anyone come up with a different way of keeping the track off the shock when running studs,other Alan's bearing kit.

It's not worth the time and effort to figure out a different way. Their kit works great.

get the ulmer anti-rub kit

I heard that the bearings are breaking is this true.

I had a set of them go bad but I think it was because of the angled backers I had in. the head of the stud didn't fit flush with the track and maybe hit the bearings enough times that it ruined them.
I put regular backers in and a new ulmer kit and have not had any problems since.

 

[Apex809]

Thanks. Think i might try a set.

In the preferred vendor area, in Ulmer Racing's section, they mention under the Rub Kit topic that they have a newer version of the kit available.

"The kit includes 2-cnc machined idlers, 4-bearings, and all hardware for $70"

Has anyone tried this version?

Yes, I have had mine for past 600 miles and it's working really well!

I had one of the first versions and mine broke too...

since then,ive let it run with NOTHING there,and IMO there is no need for anything there....the shock wears down abit then its fine after that....at least on my sled i dont see anymore wear whatsoever.....
