Koni assembly "check"

Just want to make sure I'm doing it right, so I wanted to bounce this off of you...


I'm using the lower spring perch (front). I popped off the old spring mount (ruuber ring) from the perch of the Decarbons. That sits on the Koni perch. Then goes the spring, and on top of the Koni...the large washer (provided by Koni). Next the upper shock mount, then the dog-bone rubber, then finally the nut.


I just want to be sure I'm not suppossed to be reusing anything else from the Decarbon's. The old dust boot does not appear to be needed as the Koni's have their own. The only thing that looks "odd" is how the shock mount sits on top of the Koni. Underneath the mount, I'm using the large washer provided by Koni. This washer sits directly on top of the Koni (metal on metal). Is this correct?

Looks right to me.... Don't forget there is a plastic indexing part that sits on the lower perch, underneath the spring to make the springs pigtail fit the flat perch.

Thanks Sam...I stumbled on that part as I was throwing out the old shocks.


Everythings in. Will road test it tomorrow...
