ALKO shock absorber in kw V1

[bilko0795]

Anyone know anything about these stripped one of mine down as it’s bent and was surprised to see this shock as I thought there were Koni ones fitted never heard of ALKO are they cheap and nasty?

I didn't know they did Shock Absorbers but if it's these people; https://www.alko-tech.com/en/shock-absorbers they are better known for making caravan chassis and trailers, quality wise I would say good but I don't have much experience.

One of the first batches of KV i know had Alko shocks in them. Had to work with one of S2 rep sedaan built AGES ~15y ago...It had those shocks, quite rubish they were.

Got in touch with kw and I’m sending the shock to them they wouldn’t send me one. Can only repair in house shock is £108.46 vat included £15.50 + vat to change shock and £17 postage plus I’ve found a broken main spring on the o/s shock and knackered my front top mounts 6 of the bolts have snapped not having a good week
