Description
QA1’s rebuildable twin tube shocks offer the performance, consistency, and tunability racers demand.
Formerly known as the 51 and 53 series shocks, the QA1 5Q Series is a large-body steel shock available in both bearing mount and stock mount configurations. Choose from 7” and 9” bearing mount bodies or various stock mounted lengths depending on rules and applications. Shocks are also available with rebound adjustable piston rods to adjust valving at the track.
Small details add up to provide great overall performance:
- Black zinc coating ensures a consistent finish and tight seal
- Scalloped base loop increases clearance in tight areas like upper control arms and shock mounts
- High-quality raw aluminum pistons minimize variation
- Valve with bleed shims or drill bleeds for maximum tunability
QA1 5Q shocks features include:
- Re-valvable and rebuildable in minutes using basic tools
- Two-piece body design for easy disassembly and reassembly
- Relief cuts and hyper screw port in gland for easy filling and bleeding
- Upgraded seal kit to minimize leaks, especially in high-rebound setups
- Slip-fit compression tube simplifies the rebuild process
- Laser-engraved, black-anodized closure nut for easy ID of serial numbers and valving
QA1’s steel body shocks can be used in coil-over configurations with the appropriate kits (sold separately). Racers can rebuild and re-valve their own shocks using available tuning and rebuild kits.
