RCD - Race Car Dynamics has evolved from over 40 years of manufacturing experience by the Asbury family.  In business since 2000, RCD manufactures and distributes 100% American-Made products, and has established a reputation for excellence in the marketplace.

Teamwork has been the key to continued success throughout the years.  Always in search of new concepts, the RCD team has the vision to design, develop and produce cutting edge products.  The RCD creed is simple:  Quality Products, Superior Design, Made in the USA.

A new generation now controls RCD.  The corporate name has changed to Race Car Dynamics of Arizona, Inc.  While firmly entrenched in Southern California for years, RCD saw an opportunity for a more favorable business environment in Arizona that allowed further expansion of business and an opportunity to capitalize on growth in several segments of the suspension industry.  The new RCD location has two large buildings, housing executive offices, research and development, manufacturing and warehousing.  Accesspeed is proud to offer RCD products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Shock Absorbers and Struts

 

What is a shock absorber?

Shock absorbers dampen the movement of the springs by converting the spring's kinetic energy into thermal energy, heating the shock’s oil to create compression and rebound resistance levels. 

 

What is a strut?

For all intensive purposes, shocks and struts serve the same purpose, yet mount in different ways and provide additional functionality. Struts take the place of the upper control arm and upper ball joint used in conventional suspensions with shock absorbers. Unlike shock absorbers, struts provide structural support for the springs, and maintain the wheel and tire in alignment.
