The piston rod is now ready to be installed in the shaft/body of the strut.
The top packing bushing is replaced with a new one.
The top packing also has a seal that is replaced with a new part. The inside of the seal and bushing are greased before installation.
The bushing and packing are slid over the shock shaft.

Amazing in-depth coverage. Thanks for sharing KW and MotoIQ
What’s always interesting is seeing how different KW’s valve design philosophy is compared to the Bilstein/Ohlins/Penske/etc deflective disc pistons… but obviously it works, and works well. Cool that they’re doing rebuilds in-country too, thank you for sharing all of this.
