'99 Diablo Front Koni Shocks

My usual sources for rebuilt front Koni shocks (part #5133241)

do not have any shocks left that have working electronics....

only rebuilt seals for the hydraulic lift portion. Any of your

guys' sources would be appreciated.

Jeff, I think Allan just sourced aftermarket ones for his SV.

I saw his post. Didn't know if the aftermarket ones would

Be a simple "plug and play". For both the lift system connection

and the electronic plug connection.

From QRS shock components:

 

Thanks for the interest in our products, Quantum design and manufacture a high performance monotube damper that would not be compatible with the OEM controls of the Diablo. Any dampers that we have done for the Lamborghini in the past have been more track focused.

They must not like you

As it turns out, my Koni ECU is bad, as well as the hydraulics

of my front driver's side shock.

Electronics in the shock are ok.

Well, replaced the shock, replaced the Koni ECU. Car lifts fine, but error light on regarding

the electronics in the shocks. Ran the diagnostic test with the box under the

passenger side dash. Turn on the ignition, lights on panel go dark. (So far, so good).

Push "auto", error light flashes (what it's supposed to do). Then push "auto" again.....and it is

supposed to either flash once, then stop, then repeat,....or flash twice,

then stop and repeat,.....or 3 times and repeat, or 4 times and repeat. This would tell you which

corner had the bad shock electronics. Well, none of the above happened. There was one flash,

then stop, then 2 flashes, then stop, then 3 flashes, then stop, then 4 flashes, then stop. This all would repeat. I know I don't have bad shocks on all four corners.

When driving, the car is rocking and bouncing all over

the place.....as if none of the shocks are even

dampening at all. I don't think the new ECU is communicating with the shocks.

 

So, my question is......what do I look for now? The only components

in the system are the shocks, the ECU, the

switch panel, and the diagnostic box.

 

HELP!!

Problem solved! The newly rebuilt shock had bad electronics! Replaced the shock again, all is well! 👍

 

Glad to hear it. That seems unusual. Was it a rebuilt shock or new?

The shock was rebuilt with new seals for the hydraulics. Unfortunately,

the electronics in it were bad.

Awesome! Are you going install them yourself?

Nooooo

Please keep us posted. Can't wait to hear the results

I take it that you will cap off the hydraulic feeds to the front shocks, and disconnect all electronic wires to the new shocks?

Truthfully, I have no idea how you hook them up. Hopefully I can get some pics from Alex during the install.

Damn, they look good though!

Please get photos during the install!

Want to see the hydraulic hook up to the front shocks

as well as electronic hook ups to all shocks.

I will try! Im just hoping these halp the ride and handling through the canyons. I believe these are the shocks the Japanese guys all use on their F40's/
