KONI Hardware

I have a set of KONI Sports (Yellows) and lost the bushings bushings for the top rubber bushing to the rear shocks. Any dealers, that anyone knows of, stock parts or can these be found in a hardware store? I can get them from Koni but it takes four weeks for parts. Thanks

I already talked to them and they have to order it from the main company. Will take 4 weeks. Was hoping to find the hardware sooner. I'm going to try the hardware store this weekend. I did order the parts from them in case I can't find the stuff I need.

Make sure you seat the beveled side of the thick washer down around the wire ring. That's what locks it in place.

Thanks. Not seeing a wire ring. Where are you talking about? I have a beveled washer that goes on the curved shoulder where the threads turn into the shaft. This is on the rear shocks. I can take a picture tomorrow morning when I'm back at the garage.

Never mind the wire ring is just on the R53 rear koni's. They did away with it on the R56. I thought they were all the same till I just went and looked.
