I probablyy know the answer that my shocks are blown. I tried to adjust it and notice there was fluids coming out from the top. Is there anything I can do or are my shocks gone? Also how the heck do you get the shocks at the same level there are no numbers just a direction arrow.any help would be great.

Shocks are gone bro. Best thing to do is contact Koni and get a warranty claim.

You will almost certainly get it replaced, but you'll need to cough up $130 till they inspect the shock. Hopefully you did the install yourself and minimize expenses. I adjusted mine by turning it to full soft and then turning the adjustment knob in 90 degree rotations. I have mine set at 180 degrees from soft on the front & 270 on the rears. I had a warranty replacement done just 500 miles ago. The initial strut lasted only 3000 miles. I feel you're pain and inconvenience.

Darn, I thought you purchased the Koni's yourself. Koni's warranty department will require a copy of the purchase order receipt and vehicle registration to obtain an RGA number. I am not sure if the warranty is transferable. You may need to contact Koni to check. Ask for Paul Mclaughlin. If you end up having to buy new dampers , then tokico blues are a cost effective option.
