Would anyone know what size and thread pitch the 82 series hydraulic Koni's are? I want a couple of spares, was under the car this morning hiding from the wife and found one of the lower nuts finger loose. Its now tightened and gummed up with a blob of silastic, however a couple in reserve would be good insurance.
Decent thread pitch gauges Philstar Mate have been one of the handiest little contraptions I’ve personally ever bought for the rusty gold crap I hoard around the block [emoji23]
Pretty sure my Koni 90’s on the GU ute are Nyloc nuts, worth upgrading to instead of goo?

Thanks Mark, being lazy, cant find the thread gauges, have 3 of the damn things. I will take a nut off and head down to the nut and bolt bar on monday , they can sort it out, and bingo, solution in hand. regards nylocs, yeah good idea, if they are avail in the size i might go that way. The 82's didn't come out with them however.Quote:

You would have thought a specialist nut and bolt supplier would have stocked them, but they didn't and said they were not made - took 5 minutes on the net to find some, it is what it is, sorted now, maybe he was too hot and bothered to look but it was 9am!Quote:

The 90's just pull everything back under control and you can actually feel them doing it.Quote:

They are a Beast of a relatively cheap shock absorber on our GU’s Plassy Mate, not sure either of GQ fitment [emoji848]
Please do keep an eye on your GU upper 90 chunky bore cylinder rear mount region as we only have millimeters literally of incorrect panhard say flex shimmy……..perfect touring shock as kindly described [emoji106][emoji106]
