The 11406-L serves as an extension for your shock mounting points. By utilizing a single shear design, it allows for quick shock changes—a massive advantage during time-sensitive heat races. The "Long" designation indicates that this adapter provides additional offset, allowing the shock to clear the coil-over spring, the chassis tubing, or the trailing arms throughout the entire range of suspension travel.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. High-Clearance Geometry
-
Extended Reach: Specifically engineered to provide the "offset" needed for high-travel "big-spring" setups, ensuring the shock body or spring doesn't rub against the frame.
-
Tapered Design: The adapter is shaped to provide maximum strength at the mounting base while remaining slim enough to allow for a wide range of shock angularity without binding.
-
Single Shear Simplicity: Allows the shock to be removed by backed off a single nut/bolt, significantly speeding up at-track tuning adjustments.
2. Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
-
Precision Machined Steel: Built to handle the massive dampening loads of modern racing shocks without flexing or bending.
-
Durability: Features a rugged finish (typically zinc-plated or raw for welding) to withstand the constant sandblasting of dirt and debris in the wheel well.
-
Thread Integrity: Engineered with high-quality threads designed for repeated use with impact wrenches during rapid pit-side changes.
3. Universal Compatibility
-
Standard 1/2" Mounting: Designed to work with industry-standard 1/2" ID shock rod ends and bearing spacers.
-
Multi-Point Application: Can be used on the chassis side or the axle/control arm side depending on where additional clearance is required.
