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?

There was structural rust repair done to the car, I also measured other areas. You can visually see that one side is lower. That's what got me to start measuring. The front is fine.

That's what got me to start measuring. The front is fine. Paul To know if one end of the car or the other is level do the following. Place the car on flat ground. Place a narrow board on your jack, place the board so that it is parallel with the direction of travel. Roll the floor jack under the middle of the front of the car and lift the front wheels just off the ground. You can now measure the rear height on one side and then the other. Don't trust the wheel well height, especially with flares, metal or glass. Measure to some known feature or flange under one side of the rear and compare to the other. To check the front put the jack under the middle of the transaxle and get the rear wheels just off the ground. Measure one side of the front and compare to the other. Any adjustment should be followed by a drive to settle the suspension. For an approximation of corner balancing do this with a driver on board. |
