Product Description

The KONI 8045 1222 Special Active Rear Shock is a performance-oriented replacement shock designed to upgrade or replace the rear suspension on select Audi models from the 2009-2016 model years. Featuring KONI's advanced Frequency Selective Damping (Active) technology, this shock automatically adapts its damping response based on vehicle motion and road surface conditions to deliver a refined blend of comfort and control. It smooths out bumps and irregularities while maintaining firm handling during spirited driving.

Engineered as a direct replacement for standard suspension rear shocks, this KONI unit fits a range of Audi A4, A5, A6, and A7 configurations - including both front-wheel drive and Quattro AWD variants where noted. Its twin-tube gas-pressurized design enhances durability and performance consistency over time. Sold individually, this rear shock pairs with original springs and stock ride height. Confirm your vehicle's precise year, suspension type, and drivetrain before ordering to ensure exact fitment.
