Hi guys, happy Friday.
I have a matched pair of red Koni rear shocks, one is good but one is bad. The bad one doesn’t move freely and binds, so needs a full rebuild. What would you do with these things? Last time I looked rebuild costs on these were fought the same as buying a new 737-800, but freely admit I am out of the current thinking on how/where to get these rebuilt. Thanks!  |

Wow they look pretty new,how have they been stored,if they have been lying flat they can give issues ,stand them both up vertically for a day or so,you may be surprised, if not the faulty one may have a bent spear. If that's the case have a hunt on ebay you could well find a NOS single unit,good luck. I can't understand why Bilstein and Koni have rebuild service that charge the same as a replacement....hard to work out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) . |
