As the title says, anyone have a pair or two of those little white packers Koni uses laying around in a drawer anywhere?

 

What exactly are those for? I never got them with my Konis, but I've seen them on other installs.

same here. what exaxtly are we talking about? grease? washer?

 

are you talking about the thin white plastic ring/bump stop that goes under the stock bump stop to prevent the internals from breaking in case the shock is bottomed out? If thats what you need pm me I have a bunch

think of them as a little extra bumpstop

 

actually, i think they are there so that the seals don't blow.

iirc, the split is there to let air escape or enter when the bumpstop is compressed on the shock housing.

w/o the packer, the bumpstop can seal against the shock and create pressure or vacuum depending on compression or rebound which could blow seal or introduce air or suck out oil, or something like that.

 

where's crx lee when you need him?
