Koni help

[JAParker]

Hello,
Currently trying too fit a set of rear adjustable yellow Koni's into a clio, has anyone got any pictures of what order the rubbers and things go in at all?
and should the standard rear rubber top mounts fit on the shocks? currently they are not fitting on.
Any help/feedback would be great!
thanks,
Josh.

I don't have a pic. You are supposed to have new top mounts with them that have a larger ID. I didn't so very carefully drilled out the existing ones to fit. 20k of hard miles and a rally later and had no issues.

ahh okay! thanks for the tip, il look into it!

all the top mount rubbers i've come across have been the same size.

Thinking back I think I found a small pipe which I cut to length to replace the sleeve that is in the standard top mount, but as wit the rubber parts is to smaller ID. Sorry I can't remember the koni piston rod, but you should able to measure and then drill / buy a sleeve accordingly.

 

[JAParker]

ahh right! so your not supposed too use just a normal piece off rubber then? your supposed to use something with a metal sleeve lining the inside of the rubber?

 

[bloke]

you got a pic of what you've got?

Currently there is a dome shaped all rubber mount (no metal tube inside) with flat side facing up against a big metal washer with the nut on top, dont know if this is correct or not as the standard oem top mount has metal inside and a sleeve soo has a lot less give than just a pure rubber mount that I have in place currently

 

[bloke]

wouldn't of thought it would just be a rubber without a sleeve in but could be wrong though.

think im going too try and drill out the standard top mount soo the sleeve will then fit over the koni shaft!

From the top. Nut, washer, rubber, car, rubber, washer

The Koni shaft is 12mm which is bigger than the 9mm standard shaft. There's no metal sleeve for the Konis, just use the bushes on their own.
