To those w/ the Koni yellows....

I am in the middle of swapping out my rear shocks (the Koni's will be in tomorrow). Did you all re-use the black plastic cover that goes over the shaft as well as the rubber bump stop that goes under the plastic cover?

If your does not came with it, you got to re-use the factory.

Ok- that makes sense. I just didn't know if these pieces were needed at all when swapping shocks. But I guess both should be used. A rubber snubber was cushion the blow to the shock in the event it would bottom out. A plastic cover would help keep the elements off the piston/shaft.
