Default Koni Sports problem

Well after 2 months of driving the new off my car I finally got around to installing my 350evo front sway and Koni SA struts. The only problem I ran into is somewhat of a big one. After I was done with the install I weant to mess around with the damping **** and the right front strut would not budge at all. I loosened and re torqued everything to make sure something wasn't to tight and still nothing. So by this time I rounded the little adjustment **** and the nipple at the end broke off. I sent an e-mail to 350evo to see what they can do but I just wanted to see what you guys think about getting this strut warrantied?


Thanks
D

Default No Problem here

Sorry to hear this. I have run this setup for two years with now issues of adjustment or fit. Sorry I can not add any information other then I did not have this issue. I did not do the install.

If the vendor can't help you call koni. They seem very will to to help with problems. When you toque down top mount you should be touching the "nipple" at all. I don't know what you where holding it with I use an adjustable wrench, pliers will ruin them.
