I bought a used pair of good used rear Special D Red shocks off of a member here and installed them about 300 miles before MUSR. I used Koni's web instructions and set them at a medium setting. The were tight on the fender push down test with no bouncing and the car was handling good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
The trip to MUSR was 1000 miles one way, and by the end of the 2nd day, I was doing the bouncy bouncy uppie downie on both sides. equally, at the rear. It seems unlikely that they would both leak down at the same time. With 2 days of highway driving, is it likely? Could my setting be wrong i.e., not locked down somehow? Is there a machine that can test the shock, in a shop? If they need rebuilding, is there anyone outside of Koni that does the rebuild? Thanks guys for the help. |
