Split Collar Shock Sensor Mount -1 5/8″ / 41.275mm Length: N/A

Suspension Telemetry Foundation: Split Collar Shock Sensor Mount (1 5/8″)

In high-performance racing, data-driven suspension tuning is the key to mastering grip and aerodynamic stability. The Split Collar Shock Sensor Mount in 1 5/8″ (41.275mm) is a critical hardware interface designed for the professional acquisition of suspension travel data. Used to mount linear position sensors to the chassis or shock body, this mount provides an absolute mechanical bridge between the moving components of the suspension and your standalone ECU integration. For builders of LS-swap road racers or long-travel Off-road trucks, this mount is a prerequisite for capturing the high-resolution data needed for chassis development.

Engineering Principles: Zero-Disassembly Integration

The primary engineering advantage of a split-collar design is its ease of harness integration and mechanical setup. Traditional mounts often require removing the shock absorber to slide a bracket over the body. The Haltech split collar allows for non-invasive installation, clamping directly over the 1 5/8″ shock tube without disturbing the suspension geometry. The precision-machined bore ensures a concentric and slip-free fit, which is vital for maintaining the accuracy of the Analogue-to-Digital interface (the linear sensor signal). Any movement in the sensor mount would result in “noisy” data, compromising the tuner’s ability to analyze damper curves or wheel frequency.

Operational Benefits: Ride Height and Aero Control

For vehicles using an iC-7 Digital Display or a Haltech Nexus for data logging, this mount enables the measurement of individual wheel travel. In a fuel map calibration scenario, ride height data can be used as a 4D compensation table for aerodynamic rake, ensuring that boost levels or ignition timing are adjusted as the car’s attitude changes at high speed. Additionally, for vehicles with active bump-stops or coilover adjustments, this mount allows the ECU to monitor the effectiveness of changes in real-time. It is the definitive hardware choice for builders seeking the same level of telemetry used in professional GT3 or Time-Attack racing.

Fitment and Component Quality

This mount suits 1 5/8″ (41.275mm) shock bodies and is compatible with All Haltech Linear Position Sensors. It features a robust billet construction that is weatherproof and resistant to the vibrations found in racing environments. The kit includes the split collar itself and the necessary mounting hardware: 1 x #8-32 and 1 x #10-32 machine bolts. Notably, the kit also includes Nylon sensor mounting bolts, which prevent galvanic corrosion and provide a level of electrical isolation for sensitive sensor signals. It is a universal performance component that can be adapted to any high-end shock platform with a matching diameter.
