QA1 2696-4M 26 Series Monotube Circle Track Shock Absorber 9in Stroke Eye/Eye 6C/4R

The QA1 2696-4M is a 26 Series one-piece steel monotube shock absorber engineered for circle track racing. Built with a 2-inch O.D. zinc-plated steel body, this shock delivers consistent, reliable damping performance across a wide range of track conditions — from rough dirt ovals to bumpy asphalt tracks of all banking types. It is a popular choice among modifieds, late models, super stocks, and similar racing classes.

This specific unit features a 9-inch stroke, digressive valving with a compression rating of 6 and a rebound rating of 4M, and dual eyelet (Eye-B/Eye-B) mounting hardware. The extended length is 15.10 inches and the collapsed length is 24.60 inches.

Key Features:

• One-piece monotube construction for maximum durability and consistent performance
• 2.0" O.D. zinc-plated steel body for corrosion resistance
• Deflective disc valving with digressive 6C/4R tuning — 4M denotes the hyperscrew (IMCA-legal sealed) gas port configuration
• 46mm piston for maximum car control across all shaft velocities
• Centerless-ground, gun-drilled piston rod eliminates rod flex and maintains steady valving
• Tunable nitrogen gas pressure for quick on-track adjustments; non-fading design maintains consistent pressure even on the roughest surfaces
• Revalveable, repairable, and rebuildable for long-term cost efficiency
• Can be run upside-down to reduce unsprung weight
• Eye-B/Eye-B (eyelet top and eyelet bottom) mounting configuration
• 100% dyno tested and serialized at the factory
• Made in the USA

Sold individually. A coil-over kit is recommended separately if used in a coil-over application. QA1 backs this shock with a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
