Reply to "KONI SHOCK ABSORBER BUSHINGS"

Hi everybody. I`m currently refurbishing 4 Konis and 4 Aristons (also made by Koni). I sent an Email yesterday to Koni regarding the bushings. Will post the reply as soon as I get it. The thin steel sleeve mentioned by Dick is there to facilitate the insertion of the rubber bushing into the eyelet It`s a press fit (a.k.a. interference fit)and would be very difficult without that steel sleeve hugging the rubber bushing. It should be flush with the eyelet. The inner steel sleeve where the bolt goes through should be longer than the outer sleeve. In my case I measured 6mm. This insures the proper functioning of the sleeve/bushing unit as described by Johnny.
I found a manufacturing company here in Germany that makes bushings almost identical to the original ones. Should Koni not come through with some information, I will have to order them from them.
Good luck
