Snapped Koni adjuster Help !!!

[john46 10]

Snapped one the front adjusters on my Koni shocks can this be sorted Can it be drilled out and a new one put in ??? Help would be much appreciated

Is it just the grub screw or the whole adjuster? May be worth contacting koni uk with the coilover model as lots of manufacturers can offer spare parts. I imagine you'd need to remove the whole assembly to replace it though.

Yeah going to ring them in the morning I'm trying to get a picture up on here but having trouble

Can it be fixed any one ?

According to a quick Google, looks like the strut would have to be removed and rebuilt? :(

There are a few suspension specialists out there who do rebuilds of racing dampers. Koni lists these guys on their UK site:

They should be able, at least, to tell you if it's feasible and what it's likely to cost. It might end up cheaper just buying a complete new damper, but it's got to be worth a phone call.

What did you end up doing to resolve it?

I took it to Sportsline which are a official Koni refurber they were only down the road as well which was handy and they had to replace the shaft as it has seized cost me £120 bit annoying but they are all fitted now with the eibach springs and the correct top plates which I managed to find it's been a bit of nightmare but got there in the end

Excellent - good to know :) Useful for someone else who may end up in the same situation in the future.
