Large Piston Rod - 7in

The QA1 Large Piston Rod - 7in Stroke (Part No. 9028-118) is a premium shock shaft engineered for the QA1 50, 60, and 62 series shock absorbers. This 7-inch stroke piston rod delivers the precise damping control and reliability demanded by marine operators, offshore anglers, and high-performance boating applications where suspension stability directly impacts safety and handling in variable sea conditions.

Constructed from steel with a 1.85-inch outer diameter and engineered to 11.2 inches in overall length, this piston rod is built to withstand the corrosive marine environment and the repeated compression cycles typical of rough water operation. The 7-inch stroke specification provides the suspension travel range necessary for absorbing impact loads while maintaining boat stability during acceleration, braking, and rough sea crossings. At 0.76 lbs, the component integrates seamlessly into existing QA1 shock assemblies without compromising weight distribution or performance balance.

This piston rod suits weekend boaters upgrading aging shock systems and professional operators requiring OEM-equivalent replacement parts for tournament vessels and commercial fishing platforms. QA1 shocks are recognized for maintaining consistent damping across extended operating sessions, a critical factor when pounding through offshore conditions or navigating shallow flats where suspension performance affects fuel economy and crew comfort. Purchasing a matched QA1 Large Piston Rod ensures compatibility with existing 50, 60, and 62 series shock bodies and maintains the performance characteristics original equipment specifications demand.
