Shock Low Presssure Gas Single

The Shock Low Pressure Gas Single by KONI SHOCKS (MPN 8040 1088) is a precision-engineered monotube shock absorber designed for vehicle suspension systems that demand consistent damping performance across varying load conditions. Whether you're upgrading a daily driver, fine-tuning a performance build, or restoring a classic, this single shock delivers the controlled compression and rebound characteristics that separate a composed ride from a bouncy, unpredictable one. Built by KONI—a brand trusted by suspension engineers and motorsport professionals worldwide—this unit represents a direct replacement or upgrade path for vehicles requiring individual shock service or performance enhancement.

Low-pressure gas technology separates premium shocks from commodity parts by maintaining consistent oil viscosity and preventing aeration under aggressive suspension movement. The gas charge (typically 10 bar or higher) acts as a spring within the shock, reducing cavitation during rapid compression cycles—critical when tackling rough roads, track driving, or heavy cornering loads. This monotube design allows for a larger piston diameter and greater oil volume, translating to superior heat dissipation and more predictable fade-free performance during extended use. The shock's 31.35-inch overall length and compact 3.75-inch diameter make it a direct fit for most modern passenger vehicles and light-duty applications where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.

Mechanics and suspension specialists choose KONI singles when replacing a worn or damaged shock on one corner of the vehicle, or when building a custom damping setup that requires mixing and matching components. The 4.9-pound unit installs with standard bolt-on mounts, making installation straightforward for DIY enthusiasts with basic suspension knowledge or professional technicians working under time constraints. This shock excels in independent double-wishbone and MacPherson strut systems, delivering noticeable improvements in body control, reduced dive under braking, and flatter cornering geometry—benefits that compound when paired with modern bushings and upgraded anti-roll bars.
