Product Details

The QA1 27686-1M is a 27 Series stock-mount monotube shock absorber built for performance street and track applications. Featuring a large steel body with a zinc-plated finish and a 46mm hard-anodized aluminum piston, this shock delivers consistent, fade-resistant damping across a wide range of driving conditions. With a compressed length of 13.35 inches and an extended length of 22.55 inches, it is engineered to drop into OEM mounting locations without modification.

Key Features:

  • 27 Series Monotube Design – Separates gas and oil for consistent performance and reduced heat buildup compared to twin-tube designs
  • 46mm Hard Anodized Piston – Provides a large working surface for precise, responsive damping
  • Zinc-Plated Steel Body – Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term durability
  • T-Bar / Poly V Valving – Purpose-built valving configuration tuned for balanced street and performance driving
  • Compressed Length: 13.35 in. / Extended Length: 22.55 in.
  • Stock Mount Compatibility – Direct-fit OEM mounting for straightforward installation
  • Multiple valving options available across the 27 Series lineup to match specific performance needs

The QA1 27 Series builds on the proven platform of the legendary 26 Series, adding enhanced valving options and a larger piston diameter for improved control and feel. Whether upgrading a daily driver or building a dedicated performance vehicle, the QA1 27686-1M offers a factory-fit solution with a meaningful performance upgrade over worn OEM shocks.
