Product Details

The QA1 27686M is part of the 27 Series — a stock-mount monotube shock absorber built for circle track and performance street applications. Designed as an evolution of QA1's proven 26 Series, the 27 Series retains the same core performance DNA while adding a stock-mount configuration for broader compatibility.

Key Features:

  • Monotube design with a 2.0" OD steel body and zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
  • 46mm hard-anodized piston delivers precise, consistent damping force
  • Linear valving (6M) — provides a stable, predictable damping curve with controlled low shaft-speed response and minimal spike at high shaft velocities
  • T-Bar upper mount / polyurethane lower bushing — compatible with stock shock mount locations
  • Extended length: 22.55 in. | Collapsed length: 13.35 in. — 9.20 in. of travel
  • Hyperscrew adjuster — allows racer revalving and rebuilding without special tools
  • 100% dyno tested and individually serialized for quality assurance
  • Made in the USA

The 27686M is a popular choice for street stocks, hobby stocks, mini stocks, and other classes requiring a stock-mount shock. The linear valving helps drivers feel the car more accurately while maintaining consistent handling lap after lap. QA1 backs this shock with a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Best price around. Great Communication. Fast shipping. What else can I ask for?<br>I have already purchased again from them.

Easy process

Great seller. I ordered a banks intake system for my 2001 silverado and I recieved exactly what I ordered. I'm very happy with this seller as a matter of fact I would be ordering my exhaust system from them. Besides they had the best price

Very helpful that you had most all Walker exhaust components that I need to fully replace my Tacoma's exhaust system. I would suggest updating pictures of some parts to better represent the part. As an example, Walker #31585 has the picture of #31320 when

Very good, would like to have the option to confirm before processing order in the future.

Extremely easy to use your website. Everything came in as new condition and in a very quick manner. Thank you!!

just fine, appreciate your free services I am unable to tell if I am satisfied with product as of yet.. wwait till I pull all my hair out and I will tell you..

Fantastic price ,fast shipping!!!!

Asset to the internet! Thanks a lot for an ultra smooth transaction!

Autoplicity had the lowest price on the item I needed, shipping price was not out of line and item was shipped in the time frame promised. Who could ask for more.

Parts easy to search and can't beat the price!

Autoplicity has the cheapest prices around. I searched many other sites for this bike rack and Autoplicity was the one with the most competitive price by a long shot. Also, the shipping was very reasonable.
