Mounting Koni's- Strut Bushing

[Klug]

On the bottom bushing, I have a part of the metal sleeve that sticks out more on one side than the other. Which side gets mounted to the car? I have them so the stickers are facing out, its like this on both sides.

The extended portion of the sleeve should be against the trailing arm. Which looks to be what you have done.

Perfect, thanks!

holy $hit I just mounted my rear koni struts yesterday and completely forgot to sneak that washer on...drove to work today to with it...

If I swap my Bilstein sports for konis can I reuse all my existing mount and hardware or do I need to change anything that doesn't come with the konis ?

I thought I read that something in not compatible.

in the front the bilstein use a proprietary gland nut...the koni's use a stocker (and stock bump stop/dust sleeve)

I don't recall ever seeing a stock bump stop but then I suppose they get removed sometime in the first 20 years. Are they a must on a mildly lowered car ?

[jrobie79]

no idea, I'm putting them on my car (H&R race springs) because the roads in Massachusetts are fucking awful

I did see them on realoem and it said mtech or sport suspension so it sounds optional depending on how lowered you are.
