I use JK 5/8 fronts .062 axle for my RP. Does anyone have a source/part number for harder o rings? The originals are fairly soft.

The bearing frt's are for 3/32 axles and that what I use. Diana the Nitrite o'ring are about as hard as your going to get try coating with super glue

My concerns about the standard o ring fronts were unfounded. The car handled fairly well and I had no front wheel issues.
