Product Description

The KONI 8745-1336L Special Active Front Left Shock is a premium left-side front suspension upgrade for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 (FWD). Featuring KONI's advanced Frequency Selective Damping technology, this shock absorber automatically adapts internal damping characteristics based on road surface and driving dynamics. The result is improved ride comfort over rough surfaces combined with confident handling and body-motion control during cornering and braking - an ideal balance for daily driving and occasional spirited use.

Designed as a direct fit replacement for the OE front left strut (sold individually), this gas-pressurized twin-tube shock matches original suspension geometry and mounts. The robust construction and adaptive damping make it suitable for restoring worn suspension performance or enhancing the Mazda 3's ride quality. For best results, it is recommended to replace both the left and right front shocks simultaneously.
