So I just realized that my Konis now have about 60k on them. Anyone have an Idea of how long they last? My OEMs lasted about 45K. I've noticed that my tires are starting to cup on the outside edges.... last time that happened, I replaced the shocks and it went away...

I can see that as a good lifespan for some yellows, they're probably not done but maybe nearing the end in 5-10k

I've had my Yellows rebuilt every 40k miles. That's probably overkill, but I use them on the race track from time to time. I've heard 80k rebuilds are a good idea.

Where did you send them to get rebuilt?

Koni can revalve them themselves. :)


You can always ask Penske too ;)

I think i need to put my car on downtime and rebuild mine as well. It's been close to 3 years and 50k now.
