On pressure-side cleaners like the Racer, drivetrain components tend to wear together. Addressing adjacent wear during the same service call prevents a second teardown shortly after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-05-01 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774152343827,"sku":"360253","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/360253.png?v=1753987342","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentair-racer-drive-shaft-kit-360253","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
