I have a set of red koni shocks and springs fitted to my sierra. "adjustable" is written on every shock absorber, but the question is,how do you adjust them? On previously owned cars with yellow konis on,a couple of tabs stuck out the top of the front struts, but the red ones don't have this,and i could never work out how to do the rear shocks.

 

??? at the top with the koni key?

 

There must be a different type of koni key on the red ones,as the yellow type koni key locates on the tabs that stick out the top of the front strut. As for the rears......

 

you have to take the shocks off push the rod thingy right down into the body then turn the shiey jobbie round you should feel it click into a groove, and then the groove bit should turn round. Well thats how the rears on my fiesta were done anyway! Sorry bout the amazingly technical terms used as well

 

If that's the case then "bollox",as i have just finished bolting the fronts on,at least the rears can still be checked. But i am non the wiser as to what a "shimey joddie" is?
Thanks for the reply.

 

lol! now mine were the yellow konis, dont know if the reds are exactly the same!

 

for the rears you have to take the shocks out

 

Then what do you do?

 

 

push the button and turn shaft

 

u take the shocks out and adjust it with your key and then put em back

well u do on the yellow konis i have on my 3dr

 

on yellows turn left to hard setting right to soft
on the front use a pair of grips
on the top of the shock been told

 

think there is a wheel on the side u can adjust maybe
