Product Description

The KONI 8045 1160 Special Active rear shock absorber is engineered as a direct replacement rear damper for select Saab 9-5 models spanning model years 1999 through 2010. Featuring KONI's advanced Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology, this shock adapts its damping response automatically based on road conditions and driving dynamics. This helps smooth out bumps and improve ride comfort while delivering firmer control during cornering and braking for enhanced stability.

Its gas-pressurised, twin-tube construction ensures consistent performance and long service life compared to stock shocks, and the protective red coating offers corrosion resistance. Sold individually, this shock pairs with the vehicle's original rear springs and maintains stock ride height. Confirm exact year, trim, and suspension setup for correct application before installation.
