So should we Koni equipped owners roll our Audi's over once in a full moon
to make shure the rubber seal gets lubed. Or is there some other way to

I'm at nearly 1 year on the
(non)adjustable-without-taking-suspension-apart-Koni hydraulics. It's on a
87 5000S. No quattro. No self-leveling rear end. No turbo. Still on winter
