Product Description

The KONI 8041-1026SPORT Rear Sport Shock is a performance-oriented shock absorber engineered to improve handling, road feedback, and control for classic Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri vehicles. Part of KONI's Sport (Yellow) series, this adjustable rear shock features externally tunable damping that lets drivers personalize rebound response for enhanced stability during spirited driving or cornering. The twin-tube, low-pressure gas design provides consistent rebound control while maintaining a comfortable daily ride.

This shock is a direct-fit replacement for the rear suspension of select 1979-1993 Ford Mustang models - including Base, GT, LX, and other trims (excluding Cobra R) - as well as 1979-1985 Mercury Capri variants. It pairs well with OEM springs or moderate lowering setups (up to ~35 mm) and requires professional installation and alignment to maximize performance. Sold individually, two shocks are needed for a complete rear axle replacement. Fitment confirmed through 1993 based on trusted retailer and manufacturer data; later years beyond this range are unconfirmed at time of listing.
