FK Konigsport Dampening Adjuster Help!

[Schweppy]

The dampening adjuster on one of the rear shocks (Koni) from my FK Coilover kit is stuck.

Anyone know how to make it budge? Preferably without damaging it.

wd40?

Hmmm dunno where i could spray it to get it in though. Its a sealed unit i think.

 

[ForceIndia]

Have you got a pic of the adjuster?

 

[Schweppy]

This is the best pic bud. I can take one though if needs be.

Not much help but is that a 182 Cup youve got? How you get FKs on them,thought the bolt spacing was wrong?

[Brabus]

Is that a pain in the arse? As far as i was aware both holes are elongated, did you drill the top on or the bottom one?

I didn't personally do it but it's the bottom one that was drilled and a metal ring welded either side to strengthen it.

Here ya go......

 

[Craig]

i wouldnt mind them coilovers but its whou can i trust to get them done

 

[Brabus]

Thats cool, cheers mate, i knew one of the holes was elongated so the camber could be adjusted but by drilling the bottom one it can still be adjusted using the top hole, that spot on.

Agreed, you should be able to find an engineering company/workshop/garage that will do it for you. Only a drill and a bit of welding LOL!
