Product Description

The KONI 80-1349 Classic/Special D Front Shock Absorber brings updated damping performance to classic Volkswagen vehicles, including the Beetle 1200, Karmann Ghia, and Transporter/Bus Type I models from the 1950s through the 1960s. Engineered as a direct front suspension replacement, this shock provides improved road holding, better ride control, and a smoother driving experience compared to original factory dampers - all while retaining a vintage look with KONI's signature finish.

Featuring internally rebound-adjustable damping, the 80-1349 allows enthusiasts and restorers to fine-tune suspension response off the vehicle. Its twin-tube hydraulic construction is designed to withstand the demands of classic car use, and it's sold individually, enabling phased upgrades or pair replacements. Whether you're restoring an old VW or simply want a more controlled ride with period-correct components, this KONI front shock is a reliable choice with a lifetime limited warranty.
