CKD0309 – KAOS CNC ALUMINUM 4TH LINK MOUNT (SILVER ANODIZED) – F450 DL-SERIES
The CEN Racing CKD0309 KAOS CNC Aluminum 4th Link Mount is a silver-anodized suspension-link mounting upgrade for the CEN F450 DL-Series. CEN identifies CKD0309 as a CNC aluminum component supplied as 1 piece, and its official product page shows the part both by itself and installed on the rear axle assembly.
CONFIRMED PRODUCT DETAILS
- Manufacturer: CEN Racing
- Product line: KAOS
- Part number / SKU: CKD0309
- Product type: 4th link mount
- Construction: CNC aluminum, as stated by CEN
- Finish: Silver anodized
- Quantity: 1 piece
- Platform: CEN F450 DL-Series
WHAT THE 4TH LINK MOUNT DOES
In a four-link solid-axle suspension, the additional link and its mounting point help constrain axle rotation and longitudinal movement as the suspension compresses, extends and articulates. The mount therefore forms part of the suspension load path and must be installed squarely so the rod end and link can articulate without side-loading or binding.
FOUR-LINK CONVERSION CONTEXT
CEN's related F450 four-link parts show that the chassis and axle platform can be configured with dedicated fourth-link components at the front and rear. CKD0309 is the silver-anodized mount used within that suspension architecture. Because complete four-link conversions also depend on the correct link length, rod ends, chassis-side attachment points and axle-side geometry, CKD0309 should not be treated as a complete conversion kit by itself.
CNC ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION
CEN confirms CNC aluminum construction and a silver-anodized finish. GASHEAD RC does not claim a quantified increase in strength, stiffness, axle-wrap control, suspension precision or durability because CEN does not publish measured engineering comparison data for CKD0309.
COMPATIBILITY
CEN lists CKD0309 specifically for the F450 DL-Series. Independent CEN dealers also list it as fitting the CEN F450 platform. Verify the exact axle, link configuration and four-link setup before installation, especially on trucks with aftermarket axles, custom suspension links, altered wheelbase, lift kits or modified ride height.
INSTALLATION & SETUP NOTES
- Install the mount squarely against its mating surface and confirm all hardware seats fully.
- Verify the 4th link rod end pivots freely without side-loading or binding.
- Check clearance to the axle housing, differential cover, driveshaft, shocks and adjacent suspension links.
- Cycle the suspension through compression, droop and articulation before applying power.
- On modified trucks, recheck axle position and pinion/driveshaft relationship at normal ride height.
- Reinspect mounting hardware after the first driving session.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
CEN's product title confirms 1 piece. AMain and HobbyTown further list the package as containing one mount and installation hardware. GASHEAD RC treats the included-hardware detail as dealer-listed package information because CEN's public product text does not itemize every fastener.
MANUFACTURER DATA NOT PUBLISHED
CEN's current CKD0309 listing does not publish mounting-hole spacing, mount thickness, aluminum alloy grade, anodizing thickness, total weight, fastener size, recommended mounting torque, link-angle change or quantified strength/load rating. Those specifications are intentionally not estimated or invented.
Manufacturer title, CNC-aluminum construction, silver-anodized finish, one-piece quantity, F450 DL-Series fitment and official product imagery were checked against CEN Racing's CKD0309 product page. Package-hardware information from established CEN dealers is identified separately where used.
