Reply to "Front ride height adjustment."

@GO550 You only need to adjust one adjuster. I've always used the bottom adjuster, it's easier to work closer to you.

You only need to move it one "spline" or "tooth" either way, possibly two if the car is too high or low. ALWAYS mark where you start. Loosen the outer locknut, then the inner. The large allen key may pop out of position if there is tension(torsion twist) on it.

I remove the shocks from the lower mount. Then I use a floor jack under the tire or lower trailing arm to push the arm up. The push on the arm twists the already loose adjuster. Tighten the first nut, then the locknut where you want, and go for a ride. If you got it right, it will be fine.

If you got it wrong, you'll hear and feel a "pop", which is the adjuster moving to where you didn't set it. Sometimes it's tricky to get the "splines" in perfect alignment on the adjuster.
