Strut insert fluid


Recommended Posts

Posted

In the process of installing Koni yellow inserts and Paragon coilover kit. Koni instructions show use of small volume of fluid for what I suspect is heat dissipation. Anyone have insight into what is indicated? I can't imagine H2O would be used due to potential for freezing (NY). In the late 70's, we used a 50/50 mix of ATF and motor oil for the front forks of Suzuki motorcycles. Any other suggestions based on experience?

Yep, coolant.

And those Koni instruction sheets are the worst %&$#@!ing excuse for a set of instructions ever! They might as well have printed them in Dutch, too!

Thanks for the answers guys, I appreciate the help. I agree that the instructions would be more helpful if I had Stevie Wonder read them to me!

Follow up question:

When you add the antifreeze, there are no seals at the top. Are there usually or is it just don't invert the assembly?

Oppps, think I answered my own question. There are two metal rings that must act as seals when fully seated.
