You’ll also gain peace of mind.
Our dampers help control shimmy

TECHNOLOGY / QUALITY
KONI TECHNOLOGY
Koni manufactures a wide range of damper styles.
Our Ride Development engineers exploit this
broad product range by choosing the damper style
and tuning it to each new application. The result
is superior performance and unmatched durability.
If you have an issue with your current shock
absorbers (poor ride quality or durability), you
would be wise to try Koni. If you do not see your
specific application in our catalog, call us. We are
constantly developing new shocks, and as a custom manufacturer, we have a flexible production
schedule.
KONI QUALITY
Koni products come in one quality: the very best.
We use top quality materials and our production
processes are carried out with precision. Finally,
every damper is inspected and tested before it
leaves the factory.

designs, the Mono-tube gas hydraulic damper,
and twin tube hydraulic damper.

Warranty – A Koni
Exclusive
Koni technology has produced a
superior shock that can take the
punishment and keep working.
Our warranty is the longest in the
industry, and it applies to all
vocations.
Lower Operating Cost
Precision manufacturing processes, high quality materials, special
designs, and intensive testing
regimes go into all of our shocks.
The fact that they last longer
than standard shocks makes
them less expensive over the
long haul.
Ride Quality
Shock absorbers play a major
role in road handling, comfort,
stability and braking. That is why
Koni takes the time to design
each shock for the application it
will be used on.
Complete Customization
Koni has a comprehensive range
of over 2,500 types of shocks
that fit applications ranging from
race cars to 100-ton locomotives.
Koni engineers use this range to
ensure you get the correct shock
for your application. If you do not
see your application listed, call
us and we will work with you to
Koni equip your fleet.
World Wide Reputation
Koni is known as the shock
absorber specialist worldwide.
We commit ourselves to delivering the finest quality product with
the best performance. This philosophy results in unrivaled durability, superb road performance
and maximum customer satisfaction.
HYDRAULIC REBOUND STOP (88, 90, 91, AND 92 SERIES)
Our hydraulic rebound stop is designed to protect
the components of today's low friction suspensions, including the shock mounts, air springs (on
an air suspension), and the shocks themselves.
Benefits of Koni Hydraulic Rebound
• No dead length is added to the shock
• Insignificant weight penalty for this feature
• Velocity and position sensitive, which reduces
stress on the shock and chassis frame
• Dramatically increases the forces in the last
3/4” (20mm) of travel. This reduces the force at
which the piston tops out.
MAIN MENU
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
88-90 Series Twin Tube
The twin tube is our most popular heavy duty shock absorber.
We have developed applications ranging from motorhome to
heavy truck to transit with this shock. It is very durable and
gives a comfortable yet controlled ride.
Unique Benefits
• Independent bump and rebound control allow for high rebound forces without sacrifice of ride quality
• Patented slow-opening foot valve for greater comfort
• Hydraulic rebound stop protects air suspension components
• 100% adjustment of rebound forces possible without use of
special tools
• 40% more oil in reservoir than needed for shock to function
properly
Primary Applications
These two series of shocks span the entire heavy duty line.
You will find applications for class 6-8 trucks, transit buses,
over the road coaches, motorhomes, emergency vehicles, and
many specialty applications.

• Can handle high working temperatures due to special shock oil
and seals
• Can handle high lateral forces due to thick piston rod and rod guide
• Can be mounted horizontally due to special foot valve
Primary Applications
This shock is used on trailers, military, and light rail applications.

ADJUSTABILITY/
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
KONI ADJUSTABILITY
Koni shock absorbers have up to
100% reserve damping that can be
applied by simple adjustment procedures. Through this adjustment, it is
possible to compensate for loss of
damping force and lengthen the optimal service life two to three times.
This adjustment feature can also be
used to compensate for added weight
on a vehicle.
Unique to Koni, each adjustment
position represents increased damping forces over the entire force/veloc-
ity range. This feature allows proportionate damping at low and high
speeds. Below is a force velocity
graph of a Koni shock absorber.
Koni shocks are designed for optimal
performance at minimum position,
and should be fitted as received.
Once you have tested your vehicle,
you can modify the damping characteristics as necessary.
Remember that adjustments must
always be carried out in pairs.
Failure to adjust the shocks the same
amount on one axle will lead to problems such as uneven tire wear.
Please follow the procedures on the
following page to adjust Koni shock
absorbers.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES – 88, 90 AND 92 SERIES
In many cases, the twin tube shock can be adjusted
while still on the vehicle. Remove the lower mount (you
may have to loosen the upper mount), and follow the
steps below.
1. Fully collapse the shock absorber while turning it
counterclockwise until you feel the cams of the
adjusting nut engage in the recesses of the footvalve
(figure 1).
2. The damper may have already been adjusted so
check to see if it is set at minimum position. Gently
turn it counterclockwise, keeping track of half turns,
until a stop is felt (figure 2). Do not use force.
figure 1
figure 2
3. Increase the force in the damper by turning it clockwise in increments of half-turns. If the damper had
been previously adjusted, add the number of half
turns found in step two (figure 3 & 4).
4. Pull the shock absorber apart vertically without turning for at least 1/2” to disengage the adjusting mechanism. The piston rod may now be turned freely and
the shock absorber can be refitted.

VEHICLE RIDING SOFT? ADJUST FIRST!
1. Remove shock and compress fully until you feel the
adjuster engage (See figure 1).
2. Make sure the shock is in unadjusted position by
turning counter clockwise while counting 1/2 turns.
3. To increase the rebound damping, turn the piston
rod clockwise up to 2 1/2 turns (See figure 2).
4. Extend shock to disengage mechanism and re-install.
