QA1 Releases M Series Interchangeable Cartridge Struts

May 28, 2015

QA1 is excited to release M Series Interchangeable Cartridge Struts to its lines of racing products for 1979-2004 Mustangs.QA1 M Series Interchangeable Cartridge Strut

QA1’s M Series struts have a unique inverted design, in which a cartridge is inserted into the strut housing and acts like the piston rod. This drastically increases the strength of the strut over traditional strut designs, providing superior steering control, and also keeps the tires in correct alignment on all types of track conditions. The inverted design also provides less unsprung weight, which speeds the suspension’s response and allows for more precise handling.

“This strut is unlike any other on the market,” said Dan Voight, QA1 Motorsports Sales Manager. “The strut housing and the cartridge are two separate pieces that are inserted together, so you can easily change out the cartridge to a different valve setting, depending on how you’re using the vehicle, what the track conditions are, etc.”

The 2” O.D. cartridge is easily revalveable and interchangeable, making it easy to change valve settings without needing to alter caster or camber. Racers can easily revalve a cartridge to the valve settings they prefer, or they can buy individual M Series cartridges with different valvings and simply switch out the cartridge by inserting it into the strut housing. The cartridges also feature an electroless nickel plated finish that encapsulates the base metal and provides excellent corrosion resistance, superior hardness and consistency.

The M Series is offered in both rebuildable and sealed configurations. The rebuildable option provides the ability to tune or repair the strut without needing to send it to a repair shop, saving time and money, while the sealed option is a great choice for racers that need to run a sealed strut to adhere to certain track or series rules.

Available in multiple valving options for circle track racing, street performance, road racing and drag racing. Custom valving  is also available.

QA1’s M Series struts are 100% dyno tested and serialized.
