Product Information

Full details

The Koni Sport Shock Absorber (8741-1610SPORT) is designed for driving enthusiasts who want to bridge the gap between daily driving comfort and performance-oriented handling. By offering adjustable rebound damping, it allows drivers to tailor suspension response to their specific vehicle setup and road conditions; however, users should note that these units are performance-focused and may feel stiffer than standard factory shocks when set to higher damping levels.

FAQs

Can I use these shocks with lowering springs?

Yes, the Koni Sport series is specifically engineered to be compatible with both standard and lowered spring kits.

How do I adjust the damping force?

The shocks feature an external adjustment mechanism. Please refer to your included manual, as the exact method may vary slightly depending on the vehicle chassis.

Is this a direct replacement for my stock shocks?

Yes, it is designed as a performance-oriented direct fit replacement, but you should verify fitment for your specific vehicle make and model before installation.

Does this kit come with springs?

No, this product includes only the shock absorbers. Springs must be purchased separately if you plan to lower the vehicle.

Do I need an alignment after installation?

It is highly recommended to perform a wheel alignment after any suspension modification to ensure proper handling and prevent uneven tire wear.

Troubleshooting

Noticeable clunking or rattling sound

Check all mounting bolts and top nut torque specifications to ensure they have not loosened over time.

Suspension feels too stiff regardless of setting

Ensure the rebound adjustment is not set to the maximum firm position and verify that springs are compatible with the shock's operating range.

Visible fluid leakage on shock body

A leaking shock indicates a failed internal seal; the unit must be replaced as it cannot be repaired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Koni Sport shock absorber should be performed by a qualified technician, as it involves working with pressurized suspension components. Ensure the part number 8741-1610SPORT matches your vehicle’s specific chassis and year requirements before purchase. To adjust the rebound damping, follow the specific procedure provided with the product manual, which typically involves rotating the top adjustment nut. Regularly inspect the shock body for oil leaks or signs of seal failure, and ensure the mounting hardware is torqued to the manufacturer's vehicle-specific specifications to prevent noise or premature wear.
