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

Koni FSD front damper Fiat Ducato (250,290) and Ducato (250, 290) based Campers Adria / Burstner / Carthago / Dethleffs / Hymer / Knaus with Alko BTR5 rear axle, from 2006 onwards. The front dampers 8705-1332 cannot be used in combination with most original Ducato Camper front wheels (OEM). The Fiat springs are too soft and the car always rests on the front bumper rubbers. This causes the shock absorbers to have no free inward travel. To check if the Ducato (based) camper may already have been fitted with better springs over time: measure the height between the ground and the front impact 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 fitted without any problem, if the space is less then the OEM springs will have to be replaced with new springs that will give 30-60 mm increased ride height.

KONI FSD Shock Absorbers - Comfort and Sport

The revolutionary KONI shock absorber eliminates the compromise between comfort and sport. The damper adapts instantly to the driving conditions without any electronics. The press responded enthusiastically, wondering why this hadn't been invented sooner. The FSD kit consists of a complete set of four dampers for one car. FSD is ideal for cars equipped with large rims and low-profile tires.

The world's first uncompromising shock absorber:
In other words: a complete revolution in roadholding. Until recently, the only option was between firm and comfortable shock absorbers. Cars equipped with firm shock absorbers handled better but compromised on comfort. Cars equipped with comfortable shock absorbers, on the other hand, had their drawbacks. KONI has achieved this by combining both these properties—firm and comfortable—in a single damper through Frequency Selective Damping (FSD). This revolutionary technology combines the advantages of both shock absorber types into one.

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

Comfortable dampers can result in:
- Imprecise feel in the steering
- Motion sickness due to rocking
- The car sags a lot when heavily loaded
- Excessive body movements during evasive maneuvers
- Less stability

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