SUSPENSION INSPECTION

fasteners for wear or damage.
• Inspect each shock body for leakage.
SPRING PRE-LOAD ADJUSTMENT
The rear shock absorber springs are adjustable. Rotate
the adjuster cam

either direction to increase or
decrease spring tension. Always adjust both left and right
sides equally.
Vehicle loads effect suspension spring pre-load
requirements. Use Spanner Wrench to adjust pre-load as
necessary to avoid bottoming of the shocks.
