Product Description

The KONI 8045 1085 Special Active Rear Shock absorber is a high-performance replacement rear shock designed to upgrade or replace the factory rear damping on select Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda vehicles. Featuring KONI's advanced Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology, this shock automatically adjusts its damping characteristics based on vehicle motion and road surface. That means you get a smooth, comfortable ride at cruising speeds and firmer control when cornering or under load - all without any electronic sensors or additional hardware.

Engineered as a direct replacement rear shock, the 8045 1085 fits vehicles with factory rear suspension configurations on supported models. Its gas-pressurized, twin-tube construction enhances durability and helps maintain consistent damping performance over time. Sold individually, this shock pairs well with OEM or performance springs and is ideal for drivers seeking improved control and comfort on daily roads. Always confirm exact year, drivetrain, engine, and trim compatibility before installation.
