Koni yellow adjuster tab stuck, HELP
Today for about 6 hours straight, me and my good friend installed koni yellows and rsr race springs on my 93 coupe, install went well,
the only part we did not end up using was the locking nut as listed in the fsm, part number 17 in this diagram http://www.dealerdirectparts.com/v/v...os/3795300.gif
Test drove it, drives amazing, feels real solid and responsive, no more shaking, all shocks were adjusted to one turn from full soft except for the front drivers side
THE PROBLEM: The drivers side front yellow; the adjuster is stuck, it rounded out the bottom "notch" on the included white koni firm adjuster, and believe me I was taking my time, just nothing could move it,
things we tried
driving it for a while, unfortunately it had just rained and cops were everywhere, so i dident get a chance to beat on it
we tried using various types of needle nose, it put up a lot of resistance, so we did not want to risk breaking the adjuster tab, i feel that if it broke shox.com or koni would blame me for misuse
tried using a 9mm long socket to turn the nut underneath it, lot of resistance, barely turned, so i stopped
some suggestions from my freinds dad who is an ex-autocross champ, said that one shock might have been "sitting" for a while, i searched on google for koni yellow stuck, and came up with a ton of threads of a similar nature, i paged through the first few, with not much resulting in answers
any thing else I can try???, I am going to call shox.com first thing tomorrow morning to see if they can send me another one, or what??
One last ?: Are the yellows supposed to come with new bumpstops? I used my originals
