FS Koni rear shocks

Big J · 03-02-2015, 03:05 PM

I have 2 like new koni adjustable rear shocks for sale. I bought them because I was having horrible handling issues and thought my stock shocks were the problem. The shocks are not the problem so I need funds to replace other parts. They have about 200-300 miles on them. $360 shipped. I will post pics when I get home later.

So What was the other problem then that cause you to have handling issues?

Big J · 03-02-2015, 08:47 PM

I have not figured it out yet. Here's the long story if you are interested....

My car feels like the rear tires are breaking loose when I hit a bump. There was a clunking sound so i replaced the rear bushing, which was bad, but did not fix the handling issue. So i bought some kyb replacement shock for the rear and they did not help. I have the h&r race springs so I figured maybe they oem and kyb shocks just suck and I need something better, so I bought these Koni's. After installing the Koni's I still have the feeling like i'm driving on ice when i hit a bump. The car has been aligned also. So I'm getting pretty tired of dealing with it so I am probbaly just going to pay out the *** for a shop to fix it because I am spending way to much time with it and me being in school full time, full time job, and 2 kids.

could be a loose bolt on the rear sway bar... that can cause those symptoms... 14mm deep socket should fix that... let us know.

I appreciate the help. I would like to say i have gone over it all 100 times but I will get back under there and make sure in the morning since you called it. End links are also in question but they along with the sway bar do not seem to move when i try to wiggle them.

I believe Huck had the same issue with his Z and found out that the toe bolts are loose. Check your toe alignment too should be close to zero.

Here is the thread link:

I'm confused...

Thanks and I agree.

I have the same issue with my other car. It has h&r sport lowering springs with tokico hp blues. Sounds like my rear struts are loose. I checked every bolt and bushing possible in the rear, everything is tight and within specs. Only thin I am thinking is that I have a socket stuck behind the vinyl plastics

That, or the spring decompresses when i hit a small bump and makes the spring rattle in the strut assembly.

Edit: I get a rattling sound in the rear when I hit small bumps and also like threads going up and down the strut tower. Strut is flush with chassis/strut tower, bolts are tight, strut top hat nut is tight. Not sure

Big J · 03-05-2015, 01:31 PM

I am not getting any rattling sounds.
