Default koni srt install question



Top of this koni shock looks a lot different from stock. Am I supposed to try re-using the fittings on top of the stock shock?

That bushing pulls right off the stock shock. Still don't know if I'm supposed to re-use it on the Koni.

Contact Sam Strano. He sells them and am sure he can offer technical support.

Swell.

How about on the bottom? Can't tell that The stock bottom has some rubber on it, but I can't tell that it will come off.

i just had to switch the top rubber part over nothing else. the bolt should just slide right through the bottom part. and these shocks are awesome

On 2nd look, that rubber on the bottom of the stock shock doesn't really interface with anything. Nothing touches it. Its just kinda there. And on the stocker there's no bushing or anything through the hole that the bolt goes through.

So I guess the bottom part of that Koni goes on as is with no reused parts.
