4th Gen:Koni questions (adjustments, plastic rings)

Ok, after searching i didnt find a difinitive answer

1.how do you adjust the rear strut as they dont have a dial know at the top like the fronts.

2. what are those plastic flat washers for?

3. are you able to adjust the rears when already installed?(they have an alan hole up top, but not sure if you have to comress while turning to adjust or whats the story. instructions suck.

Rear 4th gen Maxima Koni struts are the 8040 series. Since the rear alignment doesn't change you can remove the struts and put them back in with the need for a re-alignment.

However if you have the cash you can make them externally adjustable with rebound and compression but it will cost $200~$400 per strut.

how do you make them externally adjustable? Would this really be necessary? if you adjust your shocks to the spring rates of whatever spring you are using why would you need to constantly play with the rebound adjustments?

Where do you have your rear konis set
