Heavy-Duty Front Shock Upgrade – KONI FSD for Ford F53 Class A Motorhome

Upgrade the ride and handling of your motorhome with the KONI 8805-1018 Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) Front Shock, designed for Ford F53 Class A motorhome chassis. These premium KONI shocks are engineered to improve ride comfort, steering control, and suspension stability—especially important for gas-powered Class A motorhomes that experience body roll and harsh ride over uneven roads.

KONI Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology automatically adjusts shock damping based on road conditions. The shock remains firm during heavy suspension inputs such as cornering, braking, and large bumps while softening over expansion joints and rough pavement to deliver a smoother ride.

A specialized internal valve system helps reduce harsh road vibrations before they reach the chassis, resulting in improved driver comfort and reduced fatigue during long trips. The result is better steering stability, reduced front-end bounce, and improved highway handling.

If your Ford F53 motorhome suffers from excessive bounce, body roll, or harsh ride quality, upgrading to KONI FSD shocks is one of the most effective ways to improve ride comfort, suspension performance, and driving confidence.

Product Benefits:

Frequency Selective Damping automatically adapts to road conditions
Improves ride comfort without sacrificing handling performance
Reduces vibration from expansion joints and rough pavement
Improves front suspension stability and steering response
Ideal upgrade for Ford F53 gas Class A motorhomes
Premium KONI durability and long service life

Ideal For:

Ford F53 motorhome suspension upgrades
Gas Class A motorhomes with V10 or 7.3L V8 engines
Drivers experiencing front-end bounce or harsh ride
Improving steering stability and highway control
Long-distance RV travel and touring
Motorhome owners seeking improved ride comfort and handling

The KONI 8805-1018 FSD front shock is designed for Ford F53 gas motorhome chassis as well as select diesel pusher motorhome chassis using I-beam front axles. These motorhome chassis benefit from improved shock control to reduce suspension bounce and maintain better steering stability. This premium KONI shock provides improved ride comfort and suspension performance compared to factory shocks.

Could you please advise if this model shock is the recommended upgrade for our 2018 Winnebago Vista 29ve? (FRONT)...... and advise the matching set for the rear please? Thanks! ( Larry Kanavos, 11/12/2024 )

Yes, the 8805-1018 are the correct front shocks for your Ford F53 chassis and the correct rear shocks are part # 8805-1019.

will these shocks fit 2019 Tiffin open road 32SA 24000 ( William Green, 04/18/2024 )

As long as it's on the Ford F53 Class A chassis, yes they will.

Good Morning,
I am looking to get the front and rear shocks for my rv (8805 1018 ;1019 correct?) this Rv is new to me and but shocks on it are Bilstein's, original , i don't know. will the shocks improve the 'pushing' and 'swaying' i get when anything passes me? it just seems to be all over the road. mechanic checked front end and said it was solid but the shocks needed replacing. will the shocks give me better control? thanks ( Scott Clack, 06/29/2023 )

Good Morning, The Koni shocks ( 8805-1018's and 1019's ) will help the ride quality and help reduce the swaying, however they will not solve the entire handling concerns . I would take a look at our "Stage 3" suspension "kit" , I would recommend at least a rear Auxillary swaybar and a rear trac-bar to help reduce the pushing and swaying. The Safe-t-plus steering control is also good to help with wander and rut tracking, as well as providing blow-out protection.

You can pick and choose the products from that list , you can also give us a call at 800-417-4559 and ask for Ken to go over the handling and solutions.

Will these shocks fit my 2011 tiffin allegro open road? Ford chassis I believe. Thanks ( Scott webster, 06/03/2023 )

Yes, they will fit your Ford F53 chassis.

I own a 2019 Thor Hurricane 29M on an F53. Can I install Koni Shocks on just the front to improve the ride?
Thanks ( JIm Hathaway, 04/11/2023 )

Hi Jim, you can install Koni's on just the front to improve the ride, they will give as much ride quality as the leaf spring suspension can provide. Tire inflation is another area to address , we recommend having the vehicle weighed on all 4 corners and using the tire manufacturers inflation charts ( available for most major brand tires online) .
