Default Installing Koni's today, hardware question.

I bought a set of koni's used so I don't have the manual and I can't seem to find any directions online. I have all of the hardware supplied from koni, I don't know what order it goes in on the top of the shock. Here's a pic of the hardware minus the larger rear washers for the rear.



What order does it all go in?

I don't have a fax machine. Is all the stuff that comes off of the original shock going to be the same pretty much? If so, I should be able to put it together that way.

The hardware you've taken a picture of is only enough for two shocks.

If you are using the stock dust boots, here's how you install the hardware (from the bottom up):

Koni shock shaft lip -> big washer (I usually use the thicker one) -> stock dust boot (drilled out) -> other large washer -> metal sleeve with two stock shock shaft bushings -> curved washer with the lip facing UP -> two nuts

If you're not using the stock dust boot, you can delete the dust boot and one of the washers above.

Install one nut as far as you can, then install the other nut on top of it and jam the two together to keep them from coming loose.

The two bushings on the metal sleeves capture the shock mount, just like stock (obviously).

The bump stop goes under the dust boot, just like stock.
