That's odd...you presumably mean to slip the spacer
over the piston rod? I just dug up the instructions
and they show the spacer mounted on top, between the
upper strut bushing and lockwasher. I see what you're
talking about but there is no air path for pressure to
escape here. I shouldn't be surprised...Koni's
instructions are fundamentally useless anyway.
Written in half the Earth's languages by an engineer
who is clearly from Mars.
One little detail I noted in the instructions on shock
adjustment was this: "ATTENTION: Shock absorbers may
never be fully adjusted." (in better English, full
stiff) !? I wonder how many Konis have been worn out
by owners ignoring *that* little tidbit...guess I'll
back 'em off a bit.
