Koni adjustable shocks Options

[914itis]

I have a set of koni's adjustable rear shocks in my car. I noticed that one side is lower than the other. Any instructions on how to adjust them?

I always measure on the bar right next to the adjuster

I believe it's an 11mm bolt (at least on mine)

the body itself can vary from side to side, so I mearure on the crossbar close to the adjuster that should not be variable unless bent.

the adjuster nut itself can be a different number of turns out from right to left depending on the clocking of the torsion bar.


the rough description of shocks and springs are like this:
springs (including a torsion bar spring) lift the body up from the suspension points.

when you go look at a 1983 used chevy caprice with bad shocks, it is still held up.... when you bounce on the corner of that same car it will just bounce and bounce and bounce... because its shocks are shot.

the spring hold the body up. The shocks dampen the bounce or rebound, out of the spring.

coil over springs (like the rear of a 914) often sag or loose some of their original stiffness. Its not clear how much or how torsion bar springs sag to me. Probably they do some?

thats a very simple description
but shocks don't hold the body up
they control the rebound

when you turn the shock adjuster you are changing the dampening, not the height of the spring setting.
