QA1 26V73-12M 26 Series Monotube Shock Absorber 7in Stroke 3C/12MR Linear Schrader Valve Steel Eye/Eye

The QA1 26V73-12M is a one-piece monotube shock absorber from QA1's renowned 26 Series, engineered for circle track racing and high-performance applications. With a 7-inch stroke, a compressed height of 13.4 inches, and an extended height of 20.63 inches, this shock delivers precise, consistent damping across a wide range of track conditions. Both the top and bottom mounts are eyelet-style (Eye/Eye), providing a secure, low-profile fitment.

Key Features:

• 2-inch O.D. zinc-plated steel monotube body for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Schrader valve allows easy on-the-fly nitrogen gas pressure adjustments between heat races and features without special tools
• 3C/12MR linear valving using deflective disc technology for predictable, consistent damping response
• 46mm piston for maximum car control across all shaft velocities
• Eyelet top and eyelet bottom mount configuration
• Racer rebuildable and revalveable for long-term tuning flexibility and repeatability
• 100% dyno tested and serialized for quality assurance
• Works well on rough tracks, as a traction shock, and on bumpy asphalt tracks in all banking types
• Popular choice for modifieds, late models, super stocks, and various other racing classes
• Made in the USA

The Schrader valve configuration makes this shock especially tuner-friendly — much like inflating a tire, racers can quickly dial in gas pressure to adapt to changing track conditions. The 26 Series is a trusted platform for circle track competitors seeking reliable, rebuildable performance at a competitive price point.
