The strut assembly in your vehicle is another dampening structure - this is basically a shock absorber that is mounted inside a coil spring. The vehicle’s struts actually perform two functions. The first one is to perform a dampening function like shock absorbers and the second role is to provide a structural support for your vehicle’s suspension. This means that your Koni Strut Assembly delivers a bit more than what an ordinary shock absorber does, which does not support the vehicle weight.

The shock absorber only controls the speed at which the weight is transferred in an auto, not the weight itself. And since the strut assembly has so much to do with regards to your vehicle handling, this performance part is an important component and is considered to be critical. Worn-out shocks and struts can allow excessive vehicle weight transfer from side to side and front to back. This reduces the tire’s ability to grip the road, as well as reduce handling and braking performance.

If you are in the market in search of a performing replacement strut assembly, take a second look at the Koni line of struts and strut assemblies. The Koni shocks and struts are produced from the finest materials; the surfaces are machined to the narrowest tolerances and the strictest quality control standards are also incorporated in all production steps. And after every production process, every single damper is 100 percent dyno-tested to ensure the optimum performance of every part. The Koni engineers have taken damping to a new level with their external adjustment feature, a technique that is borrowed from F1 racing. With the simple twist of the knob, the Koni struts can be set for optimum handling.
