If you read the manual. It states the washers are there to Make the link parrallel and align the steering links. Thats what I read.

If not the link wont be align and will be on a slant.

www.racing-cars.com for the manual in PDF format and then look at page 5 / 6 / 7 it doesn't mention the washer in that place.

The washers are to go between the 2 ball cups on the link between servo horn and steering assembly if needed. ie used to lengthen the link if needed.

So I just filled back up with oil and finished the days racing, phone Schumacher on the Monday and explained what had happened and on the Tuesday a parcel with two brand new shock body’s and a set of seals, NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL SERVICE. As with all new products there will be teething problems so just be patient. Real car manufacture can’t get it right look at Toyota!!!

Anyway it’s a big thumbs up for shumacher from me
This may be due to a bent e clip on the bottom of the piston, which then scores the bottom of the shock body on full droop. Check its super flat when you install the new bodies.

The scores are on the inside of the body were the piston go's up and down. The plating has come off. It's probably a process problem. No big issue it happens

It's unusual, if you could get them back for us to inspect it would be cool.

Thats why, thank you. I knew they were used for a reason, thank you sir. I just could not think of where I saw what to use.

People are saying that the coating inside the shocks are coming off, thats not the case at all. I just finished building the kit and saw what people have been talking about. It's left over material from the plating process. In other words the shocks are dirty. All that has to be done is spray them well with car deagreaser and wip the left over residue. You can repreat the cleaning a couple of times to be sure. That should remove all the little shiny bits that make it feel rough.

That being said the suspension is super smooth thanks to those BIG BORE shocks, can't wait to get this car on the track

Gearbox troubles during testing today at my local track. 1 of the o-rings on the layshaft gear fell apart leading to the pin finding its way into the gearbox and stuffing up the 3 gears. Fair play to Schumacher, I rang them and they are sending replacement parts asap. Big thumbs up for customer service.
