Shaft Chrome Steel .500 11.700in. Total Length

The Shaft Chrome Steel .500 11.700in. Total Length is a precision shock absorber component engineered for high-performance suspension systems where durability and consistent damping control are non-negotiable. Fox Factory Inc., a leader in suspension technology for off-road vehicles, motorsports, and tactical applications, designs this shaft to withstand extreme compression cycles and maintain performance across demanding terrain. Whether you're upgrading a competition off-road platform or servicing a shock assembly that demands reliability, this chrome steel shaft delivers the structural integrity required for professional-grade shock systems.

Built from chrome steel with a 0.500-inch outer diameter and 10.063-inch stroke capacity, this shock shaft is engineered to handle repetitive compression without permanent deformation or loss of seal integrity. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a hard surface that reduces wear on internal seals and bushings—critical for maintaining consistent damping characteristics over thousands of cycles. The 11.700-inch total length accommodates Fox's precision-engineered valving and reservoirs, ensuring proper stroke travel and force curves for your specific suspension setup. This design supports smooth, predictable motion control across speed ranges, from low-speed bump compliance to high-speed compression stability.

Off-road enthusiasts, rally competitors, and shock service technicians rely on OEM Fox components like this shaft for direct replacement or custom assembly work. It is compatible with Fox shock bodies and damper units that specify a 0.500-inch OD shaft and 10.063-inch stroke configuration. Proper installation requires alignment with the fox shock piston rod assembly and valving stack. Verify your shock model number against Fox's application guide to confirm compatibility before purchase; incorrect sizing can compromise damping performance and suspension safety.
