8611 Universal Racing Strut Insert

The 8611 series double adjustable strut insert is one of the new additions to the KONI damper race offerings. Originally designed for European touring car classes utilizing strut suspensions, the 8611 has become an affordable double adjustable option. The KONI 8611 series is a twin-tube hydraulic that is externally adjustable in both rebound and compression damping. The compression adjuster is located in bottom end of the strut cartridge and requires a ½" diameter hole to be made in the bottom of the strut housing for access to the adjuster. To determine the correct 8611 series for your application, follow these steps: Measure the inside depth of your strut housing. (NOTE: At this time also make certain that the inside diameter of your housing is large enough to accept the KONI insert.) For the KONI insert to be installed properly the measured depth of your strut housing must be 1-4mm (.04" - .16") shorter than the dimension "A" in the chart below. In the event that the KONI "A" length is shorter than the required, the user must then fabricate a spacer and place it under the KONI insert so as to achieve the proper depth relationship. After the KONI insert with the correct "A" length has been determined, verify that the stroke length will be appropriate for your application. The 8611 series is not supplied with a threaded locknut to retain the insert into the strut housing. If new locknuts are required for you application, please refer to the chart below to determine which part number you need when placing your order.
