Koni DA shock problems I am on my 3rd set of front struts.The lower adjustment **** begins to leak oil and a knocking noise then appears on sudden upward stroke of shock.When shocks are replaced noise goes away for approx 1,800 to 2,000 miles.Normal street driving.I do notice an increase in brake dive.I think front end is setting lower but have not measured yet.Front air dam under car scraps now.It doesn't when struts are new.I have not changed factory setting on shocks.The are just like Koni sets when they give them to SLP for the
1LE susp. I love it when its right but now I'm going crazy. Any ideas guys? <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: Koni DA shock problems Call the guys at truechoice here in Columbus, OH. www.truechoice.com
They are an authorized (and good) Koni rebuilding center. I have Koni DA's on my Z and have had no problems in 2000 or so miles of street driving (maybe more than that). I don'[t know why your air dam sould scrape unless you are losing compression damping and the front is "dipping" more at the bottom of driveways, etc and allowing some contact. I'd make arrangements to send a set off to truechoice and let them look at them (or directly to Koni). Also, I believe that Ground control in Rancho Cordova, CA is a Koni Rebuild center (and have a great reputation as well, I've dealt with both companies) at www.ground-control.com I'm sure that either truchoice or ground crntrol can get to the bottom of this for you. You haven't lowered the car enough that you are bottoming the shocks and doing damage that way, have you? Just a thought. Let us know what you find out.
