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? |
