Washer Shims 1.350 x .010 x .500 Valve (10pk)

The Penske Racing Shocks Washer Shims 1.350 x .010 x .500 Valve (10-pack) are precision disc-type shock valve components engineered for high-performance suspension tuning. These steel washer shims are critical calibration elements used in modern shock absorber valve assemblies, allowing racers and suspension specialists to fine-tune damping characteristics and adjust shock response for specific track conditions or driving dynamics.

With an outer diameter of 1.350 inches, a thickness of .010 inches, and a center bore of .500 inches, these shims are manufactured from hardened steel to withstand the cyclic pressure and velocity changes inherent in shock valve operation. The .010-inch thickness places these in the mid-range of shim stacks, offering moderate flow characteristics and damping rates. Stacking multiple shims of varying thicknesses allows suspension technicians to customize the valve curve, controlling how quickly oil flows through the valve at different suspension velocities. This capability is essential for racing applications where lap times depend on precise handling balance and suspension responsiveness across diverse circuit demands.

The 10-pack quantity suits racers and suspension shops that maintain multiple shock assemblies or require spare shims for ongoing tuning and testing. Penske Racing Shocks components are standard in professional motorsports, including road racing, oval track, and off-road competition where suspension consistency directly impacts competitive performance. These washer shims are compatible with Penske shock valve designs and similar valve architectures that use standard disc-type damping elements.

Proper shim selection and stacking requires technical knowledge of valve hydraulics and suspension tuning. Racers and technicians should verify shim specifications, bore diameter, and thickness against their specific shock model before installation to ensure correct damping performance and safety during high-speed operation.
