Hi All

 

Can someone please give me some guidence on what this allen key adjustment is for? I have Koni Sport rear shocks and thought these were only adjustable off the vehicle.

 

Thanks

it looks like the factory oil damp fluid filling point i would not mess with it mate

i cant tell if the allen key head has red shelac on it, from your photos , if it has, then its a form of anti tamper seal and also stops the allen screw from unscrewing itself

 

( a bit like thread lock ) .....

This is to stop the shocker turning when trying to undo the nut.

Can you please expand a bit. The reason I ask is because a passing neighbour suggested that by loosening the nut, I could turn the allen clockwise to increase damping force. Is this right or a load of c**p, particularly as Koni's website indicates off vehicle adjustment? The red marker appears to be some paint. I didn't put it on and appears too messy to be from the factory. Nonetheless, someones marked it for some reason I guess, as it's in the same position on both rear shocks.

 

Cheers
