I replaced the front inserts per the directions found on the site. Basically from the top side without removing any brake parts or such.
I bought a pair of Konis from Bruce that seemed to be good...really hard to push in and pull out. The old ones I took out were to my surprise also Konis but felt like they used water instead of oil...slush, slush and easy piston movement. With replacements in the car drives much better...stiffer and a little bouncy. BUT, on the driver's side when I push down on the car, the car goes downs but doesn't pop back up. It comes up really slow. Other side comes right back up and settles. Where should I look first? Or should I drive it a bit so it loosens up? |

Ok I dorve it around a little....no change. I just took out the passenger side. It was adjusted all the way to heavy. I changed it to the opposite soft setting and now both sides act the same way.
I press down on the corner of the car and it goes down...comes up slow. Can't bounce the corner. Is this correct? I've never had a car act like this. Feels ok when I drive. A little bouncy. Much better than the Koni water socks that were in there. |
