Koni yellow issue/ installation problem

weebs25 · 07-27-2021, 09:13 PM

Hey all..I didn’t install my Konis yellows. I went to my first auto x event last weekend and got a pleasant sound while turning hard. Got home and realized the damn nut came off the top and it dropped! I have it back in place..but trying to tighten the nut, the entire thing turns. Just not wanting to screw anything up since I have new wheels and tires going on Thursday..and an event this weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pics below are how I found it and how I have it now. Thanks all.

Pretty sure you'll need to remove the strut from the vehicle in order to reassemble them. There should be a hexagonal section of the rod above the threads that you can use a wrench on to keep the rod from spinning as you tighten the main nut.

Awesome thanks for the response. I’ll get at it tonight

If you haven't done this type of work before, be careful. You may need a strut spring compressor. You might be able to borrow one from an auto parts store near you.
