These were in my original Strut tubes and I have never seen a pair like this before. My guess is that these are original Koni's but I am unsure. What do ya think?

Push the shaft all the way down and turn it to the right, if it spins and then stops after say 10 turns or less, and does the same the opposite, its a koni red. (This is the adjust-ability of the shock)
I havent looked at mine in a long time so I forgot if there is any markings on them. |

Koni "Collapse to Adjust" will not only have the Koni Name / Symbol stamped into the barrel, they will also have the word "heavy" followed by an arrow to indicate direction to turn to increase dampening.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It should have Koni Logo (triangle stamped in metal back in the day) & should have either HD above or SD (mine were SD from 1980 when I replaced the F strut inserts). If no Koni markings, then there was some off brand made in Mexico IIRC which was also painted red-orange to fool the unwary back in the day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .... AFAIK those were POS aftermarket/non-OEM-OES strut inserts too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Okay, I did google the part number and I forgot to include it with the first post... I meant to. The Part number is 82R1730 701. I dont see any Koni emblem anywhere on them. However I did twist them and they got a lot tighter...

The part number states that they are Koni (Red)... Wow this parts car gets better and better... I assumed that the fronts would be because the backs are as well. Not a bad deal...
