Haynes does not state which way to lower/raise, and yes I did a full search and several threads discussing this were contradicting in that one person says tighten to lower and the other says opposite , so I ask again , which way?? please answer if you have done this recently or enough to be certain of your answer.

Turn in or out might be easier. Turn in to raise. The opposite corner on the rear will see the greatest change. Small increments. You will need to roll the car back and forth a bit to 'settle' the suspention.

Phil Good question: would you post details. How much turning equals an inch, say. And whether you have to re-index (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You will need to roll the car back and forth a bit to 'settle' the suspention. Also, unhook your front sway bar on one end when you do this. And understand that the car will need to be re-aligned after you have lowered it. Also, depending on how low you go, you may need to add bump-stop to keep the car from bump-induced steering. Zach |

If I'm not mistaken, you could run out of adjustment just using the screw, if that happens you need to remove the adjuster and re'clock it on the splines
