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

The QA1 5Q Series shock absorber features a steel body with a black-anodized closure nut that's laser-engraved with serial numbers and valving information, making it easy to read whether you're at the track or working in the shop. This twin-tube, large-body shock is built for circle track racing and offers several design choices that simplify maintenance and adjustments. The gland includes relief cuts and a hyper screw port, which helps when filling and bleeding the shock during assembly. For racers who need to make quick changes, these 5Q shocks can be re-valved and rebuilt in just minutes with basic tools. The compression tube uses a slip-fit design, further simplifying the rebuild process. An upgraded seal kit is included to help minimize leaks, especially in situations with high rebound.

The two-piece body construction also makes it straightforward to take the shock apart and put it back together. This focus on ease of service means less downtime and more time on the track. While designed for racing, the well-built nature and thoughtful features make it a solid option for those who value adjustability and serviceability in their suspension components.
