How to adjust Koni shocks?
I've got a set of Koni's that came off my previous wagon & I want to adjust them for the GU ute I recently picked up.
Can someone tell me how I'd adjust them

More poke = More smoke!!!
from memory it is turning the upper part of the shock clockwise and anti clockwise to set it from soft to hard.
If i remember on my own turning the top half of the shock anti clockwise lookin down at the shock stiffened them up (i think.. or is it the other way around?)

custom bar work, 4x4 parts, trailers, anything out of steel/alloy :D
Compress them all the way. Once it's compressed turn and push it together. You will feel it slip into place on the adjuster. Turned as required. You will be able to tell how much harder/softer you are making it by simply extending and compressing the shock. Clockwise makes it harder, anti clockwise is softer.
Good choice of shock

On my Konis (15yo orange (non gas) for a road car) you need to remove a rubber "bumper" from inside the 'hollow" section before you can compress far enough to adjust the valving. There's a hole near the top - push a wire through, and push the rubber out of the tube. It's split, and pulls off the shaft.
On mine, they only adjust travel in one direction (think it's compression - could be wrong.) So it always has the same resistance in one direction, but the other direction moves from easy to move to almost rock hard.
Good luck,
Scott

Spot on that man. You need to hold a little down pressure on the shaft to ensure it does not slip out of the adjuster when turning clockwise for harder or anti-clockwise for softer.Ruffy wrote:Compress them all the way.
