I just installed a set of Koni shocks last week, and happen to notice that they are a little noisyer over sharp bumps than my stock shocks? Has anyone else encured this???

Are they new? I'd go back and check bolt torque. You did torque them with the suspension compressed, right?

clzay

yes they are new and yes I compressed the suspension before I torqued them... maybe not tight enough though?

clzay

anyone else noticed a change in sound while driving over abrupt bumps after installing new koni's? Its not a bad sound, just a little louder.

I didn't notice any sound change when I installed mine. What kind of sound is it?

z4k

Is it a rattle or the sound of the fluid moving through the vlaves of the strut. I noticed some are louder then other when compressed and uncompressed rapidly

clzay

yeah its not a rattle of any sort, and it is louder at all four corners. The sound is hard to describe... its like I had dynamat, and now I don't. I just hear a little more sound from the stuts when they are compressed over ruff pot holes or sharp changes in the pavement?

You mean the "suctiony" noise, like a bike shock?

clzay

no not that type of noise... I just seem to notice everything and hopefully i'll just forget about them being louder.
