SUSPENSION SERVICE

SUSPENSION INSPECTION

Compress and release the suspension. Damping should
be smooth throughout the range of travel.
• Check all suspension components and mounting
fasteners for wear or damage.
• Inspect each shock body for leakage.

SPRING PRE-LOAD ADJUSTMENT

The front and rear shock absorber springs are
adjustable. Rotate the adjuster cam
increase or decrease spring tension. Always adjust both
left and right sides equally.
NOTICE
Adjusting all shock cams equally will only affect ride
height as the weight transfer will not be changed.
Vehicle loads effect suspension
requirements. Use Spanner Wrench to adjust pre-load as
necessary to avoid bottoming of the shocks.
