      Too true.. More moving parts.. more problems.

    Those Koni Raids are awesome. I had them in my Defender and they got flogged all over the outback from The Simpson, Finke, The Cape and The High Country. I had complete confidence in smashing them for hours over corrugations. Over the same terrain a mate's shocks you couldn't even touch while the Konis were barely warm. No need for this twin core remote reservoir foam cell nonsense. Just bolt big Koni 90 series and go, well after you've paid them off that is.......

      i agree, i have them on my y61 and they work awesome for more then 10 years...and with 0 maintenance that is...when I rebuilt my chassis few years back (because of rust) those shockers were without any issues at all and the shocks guy said to me it is a waste of money to open them up...

  • @nitrosrt4
    @nitrosrt4 2 роки тому +1

    those marks on the center section come from the pinion getting to close, it does this when you put high torque on there and the pinion crush sleeve crushes just a little more, hopefully your rebuilder knows this and uses a solid sleeve instead of a crush. if it already has a solid sleeve(some come with it) the pinion just needs setup a little on the tighter end of the spec.

    • @peteraldin8067
      @peteraldin8067 2 роки тому

      Incorrect. Those marks on the centre were caused from previous metal being caught between the pinion and hemisphere.

  • @phillipcave1197

      No way to check without sending it out for testing so we are going with a new unit. We will also be doing a compression test, replacing injectors, new intercooler and cleaning the inlet manifold. That’s the short list lol
