Clunky Konis
Hey Guys,
I've had the Konis on for a few weeks now and they're great. Just one thing. It seems like they clunk a lot over small bumps like there is some slack somewhere. Anybody have experience with this? I was thinking about shortening the collar that goes through the shock mount bushings to try and pre-load the bushings a bit but I'm not positive this is where the clunking is coming from. Could it just be the shocks themselves? I also have comptech springs. I did the install myself and all of the bolts were torqued with the car resting on the ground. If anybody has an idea or guess I'd appreciate the input.

Hmmm....Maybe it's just me.
It's very slight and only happens at low speeds over washboard type surfaces. Probably just transmitting a bit more noise through the suspension. Small price to pay for the handling improvement.
