Anyone's Koni shock ever done this?

Heard they can be a bit prone to rusting but would never have thought this would happen - 100 yards further up the road and i would have been 70mph on a dual carriageway. To be fair they have been on the car a good few years.

They have been running them for years on the gt turbo and never ever seen anything like that.
Pretty shocking really.

Pretty shocking really.

Like what you did there

How long have they been on and what mileage have they covered?

 

[Pauleds]

Do you park in a Salt mine?!!!

^ He lives is Scotland, so yes.

LOL Dan. They've been on the car for about 6 - 8 years iirc so pretty good innings although would have expected the shock body to have rusted through before the spring mounting cup.

Rubbed through a newly fitted Yoko Parada too

Jesus! State of those..

How did the mot not pick up on this at the last test?

 

[Andyman]

I think because its just given way towards the centre of the shock so hard to spot. I had the wheel off a couple of months back and never noticed it either plus it felt fine to drive with.

I imagine there was so much s**t caked on around it, it was impossible to see any issues with it.

Pretty damn impressive though, I wonder how long Koni say their shocks shoud last. Email them, could be a laugh, or could get you a new shock!
