Thread: Koni shock rebuilding services?

    Koni shock rebuilding services?

    I did a search and found several leads from 2009...just checking to see if there is something more current re a source/recommendation for rebuilding the front struts on my 73 911 or is this a DYI project if the parts are available to a consumer? Thank you!

    Recently a friend of mine told me Koni did his 356SC shocks for him. Awaiting the contact information. His are "Koni Blue" and
    the work was very nice.

    Your best bet on this application is just to buy the correct inserts for whatever strut you have and install them yourself. Easy to do. If you have Boge strut housings (black) then you'll want this insert:

    if you have original Koni housings (red) you'll want:

    and finally, here's a tech article that addresses installation:
