Koni Yellows

Apr 17, 2005 2 Replies

As I?ve said in my other posting (1.9GTi compensators) I?ve just got a rear axle to replace mine. It?s fitted with a pair of Koni Yellow shock absorbers but I don?t really want them (there are a bit overkill on a Diesel). I have no idea what condition they?re in but I will ask the mechanic who I?m going to get to fit the axle (cos I messed up the brake pipes) to tell me. I also can?t figure out how to adjust them :?



But getting to the point, would anyone fancy a pair of koni yellows from a 205 with uncertain history?



While I?m at it, I still can?t figure out where the brake compensators are meant to be; I think the old owner removed them which could be why he crashed. Please tell me where they are :(


Mate - keep them, cherish them as if you install 'normal' shocks you'll REALLY notice the difference.

The Koni Yellows on the front of my last Alfa had to be fully compressed (damper rod) before the damper rod was turned, changing the damping setting. Some are made to have a 'key' inserted into the top. Take one off and experiment, but don't give them away......

The brake lines come down from the front, either side of the tunnel. Where they turn 90 degrees toward the sill is where the compensators are supposed to be, just in front of the fuel tank.
