Product Description

The KONI 8745-1424 Special Active Front Shock is a premium replacement shock absorber engineered for the front suspension of **:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}** and **Atlas Cross Sport** SUVs from **2018 through 2025**. Featuring KONI's Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology, this front shock automatically adjusts damping characteristics in real time, providing a refined balance of ride comfort and sporty handling without the complexity of electronic systems. Compared to factory dampers, the Special Active shock improves stability during cornering and braking while smoothing out uneven road surfaces for a more composed ride.

Designed as a direct replacement for the original front shocks on compatible Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models, the 8745-1424 fits McPherson-style front suspension and is sold individually (left and right sides replaced separately). Its robust construction and adaptive damping make it an excellent upgrade over worn OEM dampers, delivering improved road holding and confidence on daily commutes or spirited drives. For best results, KONI recommends replacing both front shocks as a pair.
