Strut Adjustment Strut Adjustment 0- Single Adjustable Rebound Adjustment: How to adjust your new struts. The rebound adjustment knob is located on the top of the Strut protruding through the upper mount. You must first begin at the ZERO setting, then set the shock to a soft setting of 0. Take the vehicle for a test drive. -Begin with the Strut adjusted to the ZERO rebound position (full stiff). Do this by rotating the rebound adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. -Now turn the rebound adjuster knob counter clock wise 0 clicks. This sets the shock at 0. (settings - are typically too soft for street use). -If you are satisfied with the ride quality, do not do anything, you are set! -If the ride quality is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the rebound knob clock wise 3 clicks. Take the vehicle for another test drive. -If the vehicle is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the rebound knob clock wise 3 additional clicks. -If the vehicle is too stiff rotate the rebound adjustment knob counter clock wise clicks and you are set! Take the vehicle for another test drive and repeat the above steps until the ride quality is satisfactory. Note: One end of the vehicle will likely reach the desired setting before the other end. If this happens stop adjusting the satisfied end and keep adjusting the unsatisfied end until the overall ride quality is satisfactory. 8-8-93.com 8-8-93 9
Strut Adjustment p j g q y y Shock adjustment 0- Triple Adjustable Triple Adjustable: Step One: High Speed Compression -High speed compression adjustments are used in both street driving and track tuning. -Begin with the shocks adjusted to the ZERO high speed compression position (full stiff). Do this by rotating the high speed compression adjuster (large knob) clockwise until it stops. -Now turn the high speed compression adjuster knob counter clock wise 0 clicks. This sets the shock at 0. (settings - are typically too soft for street use. For typical street driving the high speed compression adjuster will remain at setting 0. Step Two: Low Speed Compression Low speed compression adjustment is what is typically felt during street driving. Take the vehicle for another test drive. -Begin with the shocks adjusted to the ZERO low speed compression position (full stiff). Do this by rotating the low speed compression adjuster (small knob) clockwise until it stops. -Now turn the low speed compression adjuster knob counter clock wise 0 clicks. This sets the shock at 0. (settings - are typically too soft for street use). Take the vehicle for a test drive. -if you are satisfied with the ride quality, do not do anything, you are set! -if the ride quality is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the low speed compression knob clock wise 3 clicks. -if the vehicle is too soft increase the damping effect by rotating the low speed compression knob clock wise 3 additional clicks. -If the vehicle is too stiff rotate the low speed compression adjustment knob counter clock wise clicks and you are set! Take the vehicle for another test drive and repeat the above steps until the ride quality is satisfactory. Step 3: Adjust rebound according to Single Adjustable instructions. Note: One end of the vehicle will likely reach the desired setting before the other end. If this happens stop adjusting the satisfied end and keep adjusting the unsatisfied end until the overall ride quality is satisfactory. 0 8-8-93.com
