Product Details

The QA1 27689-4M is part of QA1's 27 Series — a stock-mount, monotube shock absorber designed for performance street and racing applications. Built as a direct evolution of QA1's proven 26 Series platform, the 27 Series delivers improved damping performance and durability in a familiar stock-mount package.

This shock features a zinc-plated steel body for corrosion resistance and a 46mm hard-anodized piston for reduced friction and extended service life. The monotube design separates the oil and gas charges, resulting in more consistent damping performance and improved heat dissipation compared to twin-tube designs. This unit comes valved at position 4M and is fitted with T-bar and polyurethane bushings for secure, low-maintenance mounting.

Key Features:

  • 27 Series stock-mount monotube design
  • Zinc-plated steel body for corrosion resistance
  • 46mm hard-anodized aluminum piston
  • Collapsed length: 13.35 inches
  • Extended length: 22.55 inches
  • T-bar upper mount / polyurethane lower bushing
  • Valving code: 4M (medium valving)
  • Multiple valving options available for tuning flexibility
  • Monotube construction for consistent, fade-resistant damping
  • Direct replacement for OEM-style mounting locations

The QA1 27 Series shock absorber is an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved handling and ride control without modifying existing mounting points. QA1's monotube technology provides superior heat management and consistent performance under demanding street and track conditions.

Quick and easy so far

Good

Pleased with parts and prices, Thanks.

I ordered a Thule 872XT 44" Fairing from them because they had the best deal on a new one and their shipping was fair. I live on Long Island N.Y. and got my order in 2 days! I did not expect the fast shipping but i am very thankful for it! I received an email when i paid, when my order shipped and then when my order was delivered to my door. I never heard of this online vendor until i was searching for the Thule but they had very positive reviews so i had little to lose. I will look to them first for future needs. A+!

The parts were perfect! I will definitely buy from Autoplicity.com again! Thanks for being AWESOME!!

A breeze...
