KONI FSD Shock absorber front Fiat Ducato 250/290 Camper VAN 2006- & Ducato-based motorhomes ( 8705-1332

Koni FSD front silencer Fiat Ducato (250,290) and Ducato (250, 290) -based Campers Adria / Burstner / Carthago / Dethleffs / Hymer / Knaus with Alko BTR5 rear axle, from construction year 2006. The front silencers 8705-1332 cannot be used in combination with the most original Ducato Camper front wheels (OEM). The Fiat springs are too soft and the car always rests on the front bumprubbers. This ensures that the shock absorbers do not have a free blow-in space. To check whether the Ducato (based) motorhome may already be equipped with better springs over time: measure the height between the ground and the front attachment point, if the space is 26 cm or more (chassis no. ZFA250-) or 27 cm or more Chassis no. ZFA290-) then the dampers 8705-1332 can be mounted without any problems, if the space is less then the OEM springs will have to be replaced by new springs that give a 30-60 mm higher ride height.

KONI FSD Shock Absorbers - Comfort and Sport

The revolutionary KONI shock absorber where there is no longer a compromise between comfort and sport. The damper adapts directly to the driving conditions without electronics. The press reacted with great enthusiasm, wondering why this was not invented much earlier. The FSD kit consists of a complete set of 4 dampers for a car. FSD is ideal for cars with large-sized rims with low profile tires.

The first uncompromising shock absorber in the world:
In other words: A complete revolution in road handling. Until recently, there was only the option of either stiff or comfortable shock absorbers. Cars fitted with stiff shock absorbers had better road holding, but were compromised in terms of comfort. Cars equipped with comfortable shock absorbers again had their disadvantages in terms of handling. KONI has achieved it by means of Frequency Selective Damping FSD to combine these two features stiffly and comfortably in one damper. A revolutionary technology in which the advantages of both types of shock absorbers are now combined in one.

Automatic adjustment to driving conditions:
As progressive as FSD is, the operation is that simple. As is the case with many good inventions. FSD is an intelligent shock absorber that automatically adjusts to driving conditions without the use of complicated electronics. The FSD technology is purely based on hydraulics and therefore also extremely reliable. Simply put, the FSD controls damping based on the speed at which the damper moves up and down. It responds even faster than electronic systems. For more information, visit http://www.koni-fsd.com/

Comfortable dampers can result in:
- Inaccurate feeling in the controls
- motion sickness due to bumps
- The car drops far under heavy load
- Abundant body movements during fallback maneuvers
- Less stability

Stiff dampers can result in:
- Very hard damping
- Uncomfortable driving behavior
- Less grip on bad roads
- In combination with low profile tires even less comfort
