ok....simple question. Which direction do I turn the adjustment screw to lower the front? Clock wise or counter clockwise? confused24.gif

Thanks in advance.

Loosen the bolt to lower the car, tighten the bolt to raise the car ...

If you run out of threads you can remove the bolt, pull the cap off, and re-index it on the next spline down and run the bolt back in.

If you need to re-index the bars, just make sure you have the frontend lifted off the ground before you remove the bolt.

If you were able to pry off the cap with the car on the ground, it would come down and crush your head ... huh.gif

BTW, if you raise or lower the front end, the alignment will change and you may need at least a toe alignment.

You WILL need an alignment or neww tires in a few 1000 miles. Your camber will be off to the + but it will handle great.

If you lower the car you're getting more negative camber ... shades.gif
