Please tell me you were using a pair of pliers to adjust them.

your talking about the actuall adjustment rod, that goes down into the struts? if its broken there is nothing you can do to fix it. the strut would have to be replaced.

nope i was using the plastic piece of crap that u get with them. and that sucks!!!

 

[Dyoel182]

You're saying the plastic knob broke off a piece of hardened metal?

 

[blu_fuz]

whoa, I am confused

 

[mysticalillusion]

yes that is what i'm saying sorry if that is hard for you to believe but its obvious that it isn't hardened steel.

 

[Dyoel182]

Have you emailed them about this yet?

 

[mysticalillusion]

no i bought these struts 3-4yrs ago warranty is way gone if that is what you were talking about i did just buy a brand new one for the other side the damn thing busted at the bolt on the top end about wrecked so maybe i could say that one is the one that bit the dust lol

You are doing something wrong to be breaking heavy duty struts like you are.

I wouldnt call the Konis heavy duty. both pole120 and myself have broken a pair of konis. we had GCs with the camber kit on them. the bottom of the threaded portion is where it breaks. we took the camber kits off and havent broken one since. although i did bend one at the same location, but i hit a pretty big curb that i didnt see since it wasnt marked and it was dark out.
