KW V3 HELP! how to fix this?

soooo i got a used set of KW V3...like 1000 miles on them. reason they were sold is 2.3L motor blew and then sold the car. I know the guy i bought them from, haven't asked about this yet.

but does anyone know what i can do to fix this problem? rebuild by KW?

im kinda pissed to find out about it. but on the other hand it might not affect my car to much because i might not need to tune the rear. it looks like a vice did the damage cause i got a pair of pliers and tried to smash it back some and it didt do anything.

what the heck? you don't need to hold that shaft to tighten the rears properly. Did he he try to gorilla tigthen them or something? Definitely won't be able to change the rebound settings on that one..

You'll need to talk to KW and ask for a shaft replacement service.

You paid too much. That shock is useless now, and if any of the others are like that, those are probably useless as well.

Do the fronts have any noticable damage to the top nuts or adjuster?
