Koni Special D (Red) Shock 54-61 Jaguar MK VII/ VIII/ IX - Rear

This is the KONI Special D (Red) rear shock absorber, part number 82 1044. It's built for a range of classic Jaguar models, including the Mark VII, Mark VIII, Mark IX, and the 2.4, 240, 3.4, 3.8, and 340 series cars from the mid-1950s through the late 1960s. If you're working on one of these iconic Jaguars and need to replace the rear shocks, this is a solid option to consider for restoring ride quality and handling.

The Special D series from KONI features an internally adjustable, twin-tube design. This means you can fine-tune the damping characteristics to suit your driving preferences or the specific needs of your classic Jaguar. Unlike gas-charged shocks, these are non-gas units, which is often preferred for certain vintage applications to maintain a more authentic feel and performance. The red finish is a classic KONI look that adds a touch of style under the car.

When you're rebuilding the suspension on a classic car like these Jaguars, getting the right components is key. This KONI shock absorber is designed to fit right into the factory mounting points, making installation straightforward without requiring modifications. It's a well-built part that can help bring back that comfortable ride and responsive handling your Jaguar was known for.
