Koni8805 1002 Rear Shock for Workhorse

Bought these to replace the front shocks on my 2005 Workhorse Chassis (W22) RV. Did a fair amount of research and the only "complaint" seemed to be that these offered a stiffer ride. Well - I am not sure how well one can tell that when driving a heavy RV (as the ride is very stiff anyway.) But if they are indeed any stiffer then that is what I wanted because I was getting some tire cupping on one of my front tires. This is often caused by a bad shock not dampening correctly. So installed these shocks (easy fit) as well as bought new Toyo tires. Ride is smooth and I cannot say that the ride became harsh. Rather - the overall ride & handling seems to be more positive and firm - exactly what I wanted.

Put these on a 2003 motor home with a workhorse W22 suspension. The shocks seem to make a real difference even though we haven't driven it over about a 100 mile round trip. Before any rough sections were very noticeable and every time we went over most bridges it would porpoise about 3 or 4 times. I put knoi's on front and rear and have not noticed this nearly as much. So far very pleased.

Made a great improvement to the way the RV ride and handled bumps. The image on the Amazon sure is not the correct image for this product.

Shocks were s exact fit. No problems mounting.

The new Koni shocks have improved the ride of my motorhome. The better ride is a result of softer compression valving. As a result I find that the motorhome can sway a little more in certain situations. Therefore I think better sway bars may be the next purchase. Amazon was very slow to delivery these shocks. I placed the order on May 6 and only received the shocks on Aug 18.
