Procedure for replacing shock absorbers on your Saab
95 with Konis.
The conversion goes like this
- Get 2 Konis 80-2540 and 2 strong 12mm (width) bolts.
- Remove the arm lever shocks and the mounting plates
(3 nuts per plate).
- Remove the steel bush at the shock mounting points
on the axle.
- Drill a hole at an appropriate point (see picture)
on the mounting plates to fit a 12mm bolt.
- Grind the bolt heads to a little under 5mm thickness
(there's about 5mm play behind the mounting plates).
- Fit a steel bush on the 12mm bolts to give the shocks
enough clearance from the mounting plates.
- Fit the mounting plates and the shocks.
- The 12mm bolts could be welded to the mounting plates
but this is not necessary.
I haven't tried this yet, but am told it works.
