Ferrari 488 Front Shock Absorber 317750
Original front shock absorber for the Ferrari 488 F142M platform, part number 317750, used across Ferrari 488 GTB and Spider models and also shared with later Ferrari F8 applications depending on specification.
This component is part of Ferrari’s Magnetorheological (Magnetic Ride) suspension system, designed to continuously adjust damping forces in real time for both road comfort and high-performance handling.
Product Details
- Genuine Ferrari front shock absorber
- Part number: 317750
- Front axle application (left/right compatible depending on setup)
- Magnetic Ride (adaptive damping system)
- Compatible with:
- Ferrari 488 GTB / Spider
- Ferrari F8 Tributo / Spider
- OEM Ferrari suspension component
Engineering Perspective
The Ferrari Magnetic Ride system uses electronically controlled dampers filled with a special fluid containing magnetic particles. When an electromagnetic field is applied:
- Fluid viscosity changes instantly
- Damping force adjusts in milliseconds
- Suspension stiffness adapts per wheel independently
This allows the 488 to maintain:
- Comfort in road mode
- Precision in Sport mode
- Maximum body control in Race mode
The system is continuously managed by Ferrari’s chassis electronics, responding to:
- Steering input
- Brake pressure
- Throttle position
- Road surface feedback
- Lateral and longitudinal acceleration
Performance Characteristics
The 488 front dampers are engineered for:
- High-speed stability under aerodynamic load
- Reduced body roll in aggressive cornering
- Fast rebound control over curbs and uneven surfaces
- Balanced comfort for road usability
Compared to passive systems, Magnetic Ride provides:
- Faster response time
- Wider damping range
- Improved grip consistency
- Better integration with traction and stability control systems
Key Features
- OEM Ferrari adaptive shock absorber
- Magnetorheological damping technology
- Real-time electronic suspension adjustment
- High-performance supercar calibration
- Designed for track and road dual use
- Integrated with Ferrari chassis control systems
Ideal For
- Ferrari 488 GTB / Spider suspension repair
- OEM damping system replacement
- F8 / 488 platform chassis restoration
- Accident rebuilds and front axle refurbishment
- Factory-spec performance restoration
Overall Impression
A highly advanced OEM suspension component that defines much of the Ferrari 488’s dynamic character — combining adaptive Magnetic Ride technology with precision damping control to deliver both comfort and extreme performance capability in a modern mid-engine Ferrari chassis.
