Product Details

The QA1 27 Series 27686-12M is a high-performance monotube shock absorber designed for stock mounting applications. This shock features a durable zinc-plated steel body that resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance.

Key Features:

  • 46mm hard anodized aluminum piston for superior heat dissipation and durability
  • Monotube design provides consistent performance and better heat management than traditional twin-tube shocks
  • Extended length range from 13.35" compressed to 22.55" extended
  • T-bar upper mount and polyurethane V-style lower mount for versatile installation
  • Multiple valving options available to fine-tune suspension performance
  • Zinc-plated steel body construction for long-lasting corrosion resistance
  • 6-inch stroke length (12M designation)

The 27 Series builds on QA1's proven 26 Series design with enhanced features and construction. The monotube configuration allows the shock to run cooler and maintain consistent damping characteristics under demanding conditions, making it ideal for performance street applications and enthusiast builds requiring stock-style mounting.

I needed two fairly expensive parts for a project. Naturally, I shopped everywhere before deciding on where to purchase them. Autoplicity had the best price on the carburetor. I continued shopping around for the alternator, and ended up right back at the Autoplicity website, because they beat everyone else on that price also! And I don't mean by a few dollars! HUGE savings! Thanks Autoplicity! In the words of Arnold, "I'll be back!"
