Where can I buy just the front right KW coilover - Thats right just one.

[Speed]

Anybody know where I can buy just the front right KW coilover.

To cut a long story short, mine is bent and needs replacing.
I don't want to buy a set, I just want one.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?


Thank you very much,
S

unless you can find some second hand where the others are leaking or what have you, i think you're out of luck. You may be able to buy a single corner from O/S, but once you consider the shipping, youd be crazy not to just rebuy.

Just spitballing here - can you get it repaired? Or have you tried contacting a KW dealer in Aus to see if they have other suggestions?

Thank you leighaus, clark & audi-tone.
Will call east coast suspension tomorrow to see if they can sell me just one.
If that doesn't work, then hopefully it can be repaired.

Will have to remove the coilover, hub and knuckle and inspect further.. Oh joy!

Cheers!
Been meaning to check out how Preeny's ride is going.

Turns out you can buy just one and you can even buy part of one! and that's locally.

would it be better to at least get a pair anyway... encase construction or materials has changed since yours were put together..?

I think the issue is more the current quality of the dampner. Two would be better but I may end up only needing part of it but not the shock itself, if that makes any sense. Will find out when I pull it out, along with the bearing housing and hub.
