Problem with Koni's!
 
I recieved my package for the front Koni's, (Part number 8241-1139Sport) and on one of the shocks, the arrow that points up, is actually pointing down. Holy run-on sentence!

What should I do? I'm sure the internals are fine, jus' the housing that is upside down.

Sam Strano Oct 30, 2007 11:41 AM

Um.... what arrow? I think you're looking at the Koni sticker, which is just upside down.

02TransAm/Batmobile Oct 30, 2007 08:26 PM

Um, . . . . these arrows. See how I come off as an ass when I say something like that Strano? That's my only beef with you.

I'm talking about these arrows. They are pointing in the wrong direction.

Give Lingenfelter a call...they should support their sales...

z28bryan Oct 31, 2007 11:08 PM

Dude, the top is the bottom, lol

Well..... is the shock shaft in the right direction? Like are the spring perches also upside down? I'd think the shocks would be either obviously something wrong with them or obviously ok to put on your car.

I guess if you are looking for assholes, you'll find them.

Lookie...I found two.

Keep this clean and on topic or I lock it.

Sam Strano Nov 1, 2007 11:35 AM

In my defense, the Koni sticker sometimes applied to the shocks looks like an arrowhead, and to be read, it points down.... Of course, why consider why I might have said such a thing, better to just call me an ass.

Lingenfelter ought to be able to answer all your questions.

A wider angle picture would help.

Are the spring perches upside down ?

James, how about a wider picture or bring them by my house, or send me a better picture to my phone. You got my number bro.
You should of called me bro!!

02TransAm/Batmobile Nov 1, 2007 06:44 PM

I don't have a Camera. So I snapped those pics with jus my phone. I tried to do a wider shot but the arrows don't show. But basically, instead of pointing up, it's pointing down towards the ground.

I'll give Lingenfelter a call. Lingenfelter has the best price on these shocks too.

Compared to where?

bearcatt Nov 1, 2007 09:14 PM

In any event, the direction of those arrows look different than the brand new Konis I received last week.

vtirocz Nov 3, 2007 03:32 PM

So what is the verdict on this one? Why were the arrows pointing the wrong way? Did you install them and everything was ok?

Thanks.

No matter what you do, be sure and call anyone who tries to help you an ass. Extra points if they are a sponsor, and multiple extra points if you did not even buy the shocks from them. Bonus points included if you don't bother to call the actual supplier.

Boodyrider Nov 3, 2007 05:14 PM

If lingenfelter has the best PRICE on anything, I'll be surprised.

But add me to the ass list, at least I own a camera.
