QA1 13.50 Stud/T-Bar V 3-5 Shock Large Steel 9.38

This QA1 5Q Series shock absorber is a large body, twin-tube unit designed for circle track racing applications. It uses a 13.50-inch stroke with stud and T-bar style mounting, and a 9.38-inch large steel body. The 5Q shocks are built with serviceability in mind, allowing racers to re-valve and rebuild them quickly with basic tools. This makes them a practical choice for those who need to fine-tune their suspension setup for different track conditions or racing classes.

The construction includes a two-piece body for straightforward disassembly and reassembly, and a compression tube with a slip-fit design to further simplify the rebuild process. An upgraded seal kit is used to minimize leaks, which is especially important in high-rebound situations. For easy identification, the gland features relief cuts and a hyper screw port for filling and bleeding, and a laser-engraved, black-anodized closure nut clearly displays serial numbers and valving information, making it easy to read at the track or in the shop.
