koni adjustable rear shocks

[schakal]

anyone on here know how they are supposed to be adjusted ?
there is a warning stamped on them saying
"remove bump rubbers before adjustment"
but no clue as to how the adjustment is done :roll:

thought they were fixed mate koni,s unless they have a screw adjustment at the bottom on 8mm key on the piston rod

[Justin..]

on my koni's there's a button next to the rod under the dust cover

[Evogone]

Dont you twist them or something ?

[sideways danny]

not sure on these, but some similar Koni shocks require fully compressing then turning of the piston

Like Justin says on the clio ones there is a button next to the rod

you push it in then twist the shock. You only have 3 settings on the rear

they are deffo adjustable mate ,it says on them :D
they came with black plastic knob things that screw to the top
of the piston rod (the shock at the bottom has it in the pic )
inside the plastic knob ,there are 2 nuts . may be some sort
of lock nut system to spin the piston rod ?

tried to pull the dust covers out with no luck ,i am not sure whether
they are fixed there or just holding on rust .

this might be the ticket ^^
any ideas which way is softer ?

Probably anti-clockwise is softer. Should be able to tell by hand compressing them on different settings :)

it makes even more sense now as you would not be able to
fully compress them with the bump stops in place :idea:

as you keep turning the piston ,is there an indicator that tells
when you reach the max/min points of adjustment ?

While the shocks are fully expanded :!: :!: , you turn left or right the ... stem , i am not sure if it is the right word in English - the shiny rod :)
There is maximum left position and right position.
A friend of mine had a pair of similar shocks on his Renault 19 valver :)

thanks mate , these are off a 19 16v also .
does it stop turning when you come to maximum positions ??

I think they should stop. It was a quick chat with my friend about them some time ago, that's how i know about them.

even pull the piston rod out :shock: :shock:
