Rear Koni shock ? was created by spdygon
This shock came with the last kz900 I bout. Question I have is ...this there suppose to be a ring between shock body and spring.
Spring move around and if it move to one side it kind of hangs out.

Shouldn't there be some kind of deep shoulder washer to keep the spring centered?

You are not missing any washers I have two sets of koni's, You have a shock, a spring and a top retaining collar.

I picked up these koni's today that have been in attic for 20 plus years . there are no retaining washers. If there loose, the springs are probably worn. adjust the tensioner and maybe the spring wont slide around . On the the least setting the spring will be loose
This is a koni shock,nothing more
