Product Description

The KONI 80-1787 Front Shock Absorber is engineered specifically for classic Volkswagen models from the mid-1960s through the late-1970s, including Beetle, Ghia, Squareback, and Thing. This front shock delivers adjustable rebound damping, allowing owners to fine-tune ride comfort and handling response on vintage VW front suspensions. KONI's Classic series combines vintage aesthetic with modern damping technology to bring improved road holding, enhanced comfort, and reliable performance to older vehicles.

Built with durable twin-tube hydraulic design and adjustability, the 80-1787 excels as both a replacement for worn original shocks and as an upgrade for enthusiasts seeking a more controlled driving experience. Sold individually, two shocks are needed for a complete front axle replacement. Fitment is verified for specified classic Volkswagen applications through 1977, and due to the vintage nature of these vehicles, this part is not intended for modern cars.
