POPULAR CIRCLE TRACK SUSPENSION


SHOCK ABSORBERS

From dirt to asphalt, we can help you lower your lap times. QA1 shocks provide the control you need for consistent traction, lap after lap. Rebuildable models allow for easy servicing or replacement of parts in case of a wreck. With options that fit nearly any class or rule package, QA1 is the trusted shock for racers nationwide.

ROD ENDS

High-strength, low-friction suspension components are critical for any race car's suspension. QA1 rod ends are designed to help your steering and suspension links operate more smoothly while withstanding the abuses of wheel-to-wheel racing. In addition to traditional sizes, QA1 also offers options for high misalignment for high angle needs such as right front tie rods.

BALL JOINTS

Low friction, strength, and versatility are crucial considerations when selecting a performance ball joint. QA1's Ultimate Ball Joint addresses these needs with its patented low-friction, serviceable design that offers exceptional flexibility. Racers appreciate that QA1 ball joint pins bend rather than break during hard impacts, keeping your spindle attached and allowing you to finish the race. Additionally, the easy servicing capabilities enable you to make quick repairs between the heats and feature.

WHY QA1?

Rebuildability

"The 5Q series gives me the ability to rebuild or revalve my shocks on the fly. I can even make changes at the track if I want to."

Adam Hansen

Second-to-None Durability

"Now days, in dirt track racing, it’s all about the tenths you can gain on the track, as everybody is so competitive & fast! That’s why I choose QA1’s ball joints. They have the least amount of drag between any other ball joint I’ve used, the ability to rebuild them is game changing, and the durability is second to none. QA1 is always making sure I’m at the top of my game!"

Austin Brands

No Breakage

"I’ve taken some hard hits and never had a QA1 ball joint shear or break. There’s no doubt I’ve finished races I shouldn’t have thanks to them."
