I'm leaving early to go home and install them :cool:

Two questions, mine didn't come with dust covers for the top of the stud like the pictures and the instructions indicate. Do those of you who have them, have dust covers?

Second, The plastic disc around the piston...Do I leave it there? Is is a faux bump-stop?

Thanks,
Jay

 

Strange, they should have come with the dust caps. Who did you get them from?

Leave the plastic disk as well. It's there inbetween the dust cap and the shock.

Have fun on the install, shouldn't take to long. BTW why not replace all 4 at once?

 

I purchased them from shox.com. The dust cap I'm referring to is the one that fits over the stud, adjuster, and upper stud nuts, not the whole upper shock body.

I only got the fronts because of the price of the Koni's. Heck, I'm the guy who just fabbed my own camber brace because I didn't want to shell out the $200 for the one from R-D Racing. I'll get the rears in a week or two.

Mine don't have a dust cap though I got mine used. No problems after 2-3 years. A friend bought his new, and I don't remember seeing a dust cap either. I wouldn't sweat it.

Another tip...Konis have a reputation for freezing in position if you set the adjuster to the end of its range. Back the adjuster off a tiny bit (like 1/16th turn) to avoid this.

 

I got a dust cover when I bought my Koni's, but I don't use it. Neither do I use the white plastic piece. I would never drive on a dusty road... :D

By the way, I love my Koni's! :steering:
