How do I adjust the rebound on this KONI shock absorber?

The rebound adjustment is internal to the shock absorber. You can typically access the adjustment mechanism at the bottom of the shock body. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific adjustment procedure for your 80 Series shock.

Does this shock absorber come with any mounting hardware?

What is the difference between a twin-tube and a monotube shock absorber?

A twin-tube shock absorber has two tubes: an inner working cylinder and an outer reservoir. This design helps manage heat and is often more forgiving for everyday driving. Monotube shocks have a single tube and are typically used for more performance-oriented applications.

Product Details

This KONI Special D (Red) shock absorber features an internally adjustable, twin-tube, non-gas design. This setup is built to offer a noticeable improvement in ride comfort and handling for classic Mercedes-Benz models from the mid-1950s to early 1960s. It’s a popular choice for owners looking to restore or enhance the driving experience of their vintage vehicles.

The twin-tube construction helps manage heat effectively, while the internal rebound adjustability allows you to fine-tune the shock's response to your driving preferences and road conditions. This means you can dial in a firmer ride for spirited driving or a softer setting for more comfortable cruising. KONI has a long history with these types of vehicles, and this shock is made to fit right into the original mounting points, making installation straightforward for many DIYers and professional mechanics alike.

This shock absorber is designed to fit a range of Mercedes-Benz models, including the 180, 180D, 190, 190B, 190D, 220, 220a, and 220S from the mid-50s to early 60s. If you're working on one of these classic sedans, this KONI shock is a solid option for bringing its suspension back to life.
