About KONI
KONI develops hydraulic damping systems for road, performance, commercial, and motorsport applications. Special Active dampers use a mechanical frequency-selective valve to vary response without external electronic controls.
Related Parts
- No internal front shock, spring, mount, bump stop, or second rear shock is linked because each companion component and quantity must be verified for the exact XC60 suspension configuration.
FAQ
What is the 8245 1427?It is one Special Active shock absorber for the rear axle of the supported Volvo XC60 application.
Does it fit the Volvo XC90?XC90 fitment is not claimed here because the current exact manufacturer page identifies the XC60 only.
Is this shock electronically adjustable?No. Its frequency-selective damping response is mechanical and does not require an electronic controller.
Is the shock sold as a pair?No. The verified package quantity is one rear shock absorber; service plans may require purchasing two.
Does it change ride height?No. A replacement shock controls damping and does not set spring ride height.
Can it replace a failed electronic or air-suspension damper?Do not assume interchangeability. Confirm the original suspension type, mounting points, and current KONI application before ordering.
Should rear shocks be replaced in pairs?Replacing both rear dampers is commonly recommended for balanced behavior, but confirm vehicle condition and the service plan before ordering quantities.
What must be checked after installation?Verify all fastener torque, bushing seating, hose and wiring clearance, ride height, and suspension movement before returning the vehicle to service.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm the vehicle is a 2018-2025 Volvo XC60 with the matching rear suspension and verify KONI 8245 1427 before disassembly.
- Support the vehicle at approved lift points and support the rear suspension so spring load and control-arm movement remain controlled.
- Remove the original rear shock using the current Volvo service procedure and inspect the mounts, bushings, fasteners, and surrounding components.
- Compare the replacement shock's length, bushings, mounting eyes, and hardware with the original component before installation.
- Install the shock in the documented orientation and tighten all fasteners at the specified suspension position and torque.
- Cycle the suspension, verify full clearance and secure mounting, road-test carefully, and recheck the installation for noise or looseness.
