Návod na inštaláciu

  1. Pripravte vozidlo: Safely lift and support the vehicle using jack stands or a hydraulic lift. Ensure the suspension is unloaded.
  2. Odstráňte staré tlmiče: Locate and remove the existing shock absorbers. This typically involves unbolting the upper and lower mounting points. Retain any reusable hardware if applicable.
  3. Skontrolujte montážne body: Clean and inspect the vehicle's shock mounting points for any damage, corrosion, or wear. Repair as necessary.
  4. Inštalácia nových tlmičov:
    • Install the provided polyurethane bushings or bearing mounting hardware onto the QA1 TD902 shock.
    • Position the new shock absorber into the upper mounting point and secure it with the appropriate hardware. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
    • Extend or compress the shock as needed to align with the lower mounting point. Secure with hardware.
  5. Momentové upevňovacie prvky: With the vehicle's weight on the suspension (or at ride height), tighten all mounting bolts to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque values. Refer to your vehicle's service manual.
  6. Záverečná kontrola: Double-check all fasteners for proper torque. Ensure there is no interference with other suspension or vehicle components.

Poznámka: For coil-over applications, specific coil-over hardware will be included and should be installed according to the separate coil-over instructions.

Úprava a prevádzka

The QA1 TD902 is a double adjustable shock, allowing independent control over compression (bump) and rebound (extension) damping. This enables fine-tuning of your vehicle's ride and handling characteristics.

Postup úpravy:

  1. Locate Adjusters: The shock features two adjustment knobs, typically located at the bottom of the shock body. One knob controls compression, and the other controls rebound. Refer to the markings (e.g., 'C' for Compression, 'R' for Rebound) on the shock body.
  2. Počiatočné nastavenie: It is recommended to start with both compression and rebound adjusters set to a neutral or manufacturer-recommended baseline. This is often achieved by turning the knob fully counter-clockwise until it stops (zero clicks), then turning it clockwise a specified number of clicks. Consult QA1 documentation for specific baseline settings if available.
  3. Nastavenie kompresie: Turning the compression knob clockwise increases the damping force during shock compression (when the wheel moves upwards). This can help control body roll and dive.
  4. Adjusting Rebound: Turning the rebound knob clockwise increases the damping force during shock extension (when the wheel moves downwards). This helps control how quickly the wheel returns to its original position after hitting a bump, improving tire contact with the road.
  5. Prírastkové úpravy: Make small adjustments (1-2 clicks at a time) and test the vehicle's behavior. Note your settings for future reference.
  6. Symetria: Ensure that adjustments are made symmetrically across the vehicle (e.g., both front shocks, or both rear shocks) unless specific tuning requires otherwise.

Tip: Keep a log of your adjustment settings and how they affect vehicle performance to find your optimal setup for different driving conditions.

Údržba

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your QA1 TD902 shock absorbers.

  • Pravidelná kontrola: Periodically inspect the shocks for any signs of leaks, damage to the body or piston rod, or worn bushings.
  • Čistota: Keep the shock bodies and piston rods clean, especially after driving in dirty or corrosive conditions. Use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage seals.
  • Kontrola hardvéru: Verify that all mounting hardware remains tight and secure. Re-torque fasteners to specification if necessary.
  • Piston Rod Protection: Avoid scratching or damaging the piston rod surface, as this can lead to seal failure and fluid leaks.
  • Puzdrá: Inspect polyurethane bushings for cracking or excessive wear. Replace them if they show signs of degradation.

Riešenie problémov

If you experience issues with your QA1 TD902 shock absorbers, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

SymptómMožná príčinaRiešenie
Excessive Bouncing/Poor Ride ControlNesprávne damping settings (too soft), worn shock, insufficient spring rate.Increase compression and/or rebound damping. Inspect for leaks or damage. Consult a suspension specialist.
Harsh Ride/Stiff SuspensionNesprávne damping settings (too stiff), incorrect spring rate.Decrease compression and/or rebound damping. Ensure adjustments are symmetrical.
Fluid Leaks from Shock BodyDamaged seal, bent piston rod, internal component failure.A leaking shock requires replacement or professional rebuilding. Contact QA1 support.
Klopkavý alebo hrkotavý hlukLoose mounting hardware, worn bushings, internal shock damage.Check and re-torque all mounting bolts. Inspect bushings for wear. If noise persists, inspect the shock for internal damage.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact QA1 technical support for further assistance.
