Rear Shock Absorber Bush Help!

[Schweppy]

Say one was to accidentally lose a rear shock top mount bush from ones FK Konigsport Coilover kit, what would one do? :approve:

How similar are they do the standard renault ones?

The hole is larger on the Koni ones and also they are like rubber bungs. When you screw on the nut, the rubber compresses and fills the gap in the top mount so that its a very secure fit.

They look like this when uncompressed -

Shouldn't that top one be the other way round? I'd guess your only option is to go to FK and see if you can get a replacement.

Yeh thats not how they go together at all. Was just for the photo. Top rubber goes other way round with big metal washer on top of it.

I have got a contact for spares but before i did that just wondered if theres anything else i can use as i'm only missng the top rubber!

Well the top one is very similar to the renault one but looking on dialogys you can't buy them seperately. So i'd try one off your original rear dampers.

Yeh i have, its too small. Did think about drilling it but theres a metal sleeve that also runs down though it, joining the 2 halves together.

Found it!
