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 think I found the issue. It looks like they added to shims under the trailing arm on one side. The side with the shims I the highest one. I checked everything else on the suspension and they are in giid shape.
Should i start removing them? Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(914itis @ Mar 29 2013, 05:35 PM)  I think I found the issue. It looks like they added to shims under the trailing arm on one side. The side with the shims I the highest one. I checked everything else on the suspension and they are in giid shape. Should i start removing them? They are alignment shims, used to set camber. Where are you measuring the ride height from and how much higher is 1 side that the other? I found that the driver side almost always sits lower that the passenger side, 1/4 inch or so. Also don't forget that anything you do that changes the ride height also changes the weight balance of the car, it is easy to get the weight out of whack. Jim |
