  • Learn to rebuild a QA1 twin tube shock in just minutes for cleaning or replacing parts. These shocks are oil-filled and use a gas bag instead of being gas charged. Watch Marshall take apart and put back together a shock absorber that is rebuildable and revalveable.

    Really cool explanation, after watching this I have a more clear idea, in my case happened that the tube had some air and messed with the correct function of the shock. One question, should i use hydraulic fluid with more density? Now I'm using shell spirax s1.

    When did Qa1 change from the closed cell foam pad to the gas bag? This morning, I tore down a pair of 50 series twin tube shocks that are over 20 years old that still have the foam.

    TECH TIP: Rebuilding a twin tube shock is a little different than rebuilding a monotube. Here’s a video with Marshall showing you how.

    I disassembled my shock this afternoon because it was leaking again. This is the third time that I would be sending it in to be rebuilt. I wanted to see what was inside it. Mine has an o-ring around the compression tube that is not shown in this video. Where does this go on the tube? It was about centered on the length of the tube. I am giving up on the coil over shocks and going back to coil springs and conventional shocks.

    did you introduce compress air as you did on the mono tube?

    • @QA1TECH
      @QA1TECH  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello. The gas bag accommodates for the volume of the piston rod in a twin tube shock, so no compressed air is required. Thanks!

      The gas bag is there to accommodate for the displacement of the shaft as it enters and exits the shock body.

    Is there a measurement for the oil in the shock?? If is, what is the difference if we put more or less oil in the tube?? Tq

    • @QA1TECH
      @QA1TECH  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No there is no measurement for a twin tube shock. You don't want any air pockets in there as it would create problems with the performance of the shock.

    • @AdriaanDippenaar
      @AdriaanDippenaar 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      if there is air in this shock then airation of oil will occur and that will lead to shock fade when the shock reaches higher tempratures.

      It's a gas bag. You will need to replace the one you took out when reassembling the shock.
