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?

Since your car has had structural work AND flares added, there may be a slight twist in the chasis (ie: the longs are not perfectly parallel to each other) or one new fender opening may have been installed high/low in relation to the others.
If the car is solid now, I think you may need to average out the fender arch heights from the ground using torsion bar settings and adjustable rear perches to achieve a visual level. That being said, doing so could cause one bumper or the other to not appear parallel to the ground. I know I was concerned about this too with my car. It's presently leveled and on stands. I placed a 360 laser level in the center of the car underneath it and repeatedly measured up from the beam and shimmed the stand points until all 4 suspension points were level. Now, I have a 7mm disparity between my front right fender arch and the left rear vs the same measurement for the opposite 2 corners. As it's been mentioned. The cars weren't all perfect originally AND there's no way to know what jolts and repairs they may have encountered along the way. I say average out your height much the same way you would corner balance it. |
