There's other way if you can't get an Allen key in the top or undo the top bolt . Use spring compressors and compress the spring which will relieve pressure on the bottom seat. You weren't too worried about scratching the powder coat anyway . If you don't have spring compressors jack the car off the ground , take wheels off then put another jack under the hub to compress spring . Use tie wire to hold spring compressed. Remove jack from under up and there will be little pressure on the strut seats. Once height is adjusted put back back under hub. Take pressure then cut the tie wire . It really works a treat when getting original springs out to lower a Commodore 😅

Is there specific torque spec for that top bolt or is it just until its snug? Or maybe until where the factory marks are?

I always thought it was needed to be adjusted when the spring was compressed. As long as it’s lubricated we can adjust?

Bit late to the game with my comment, but I had mine wound up 30mm after they had settled after 6 months. Feels the same to ride in and drive.

I followed exactly what you said but mine is super tight, I had to use a lever to turn the top nut even a quarter turn😢

If you mark the adjustment nut and turn it one rotation, how many mm movement is that? That would be handy to know when making height adjustments.

One full turn is 3mm height which equals 6mm of lift

I installed my Dobinson IMS C59-302 - Stock - 2.5" with the 2.5" spring and craned it up to 226 mm it was too compressed, a shop dropped it to 213mm and it still rides pretty stiff/harsh. I have 400miles on the new shock should it soften up at all?
@jcarry5214 Жыл бұрын
I talked to a guy who experienced this, he added weight wherever he could and cycled the springs a lot and they loosened up . It'll take more than 400 probably though.
@bill7501 Жыл бұрын
So if you have dobinson suspension can you have it set at 3inch and if you get defected go and get it lowered to 2 inch???
@lachlanrichards962410 ай бұрын
I don’t see why not. Pretty sure they defect the height and not the part
