Can anyone tell me if turning the **** counterclockwise for Koni shocks increases stiffness? This can be done without the proper ****, right? I know those are odd questions, but I need to be certain.

Thanks.

 

Are these struts?

 

The rear ones.

 

clockwise wil tighten, conter will loosen.. depending on the internals you can get 360 or 720 degress of rotation.. you should have had one adjuster in each Koni box, it says right on top in big red letters. if you don't have one you can get one from a dealer. I've got ~ 50 sitting here.. since not many people want 4 big *** adjusters..

 

Yep, clockwise to "stiffen".
It should say on the ****.
PLEASE don't use pliers to turn the "tab" - you'll quickly ruin them!
BTW, I'm talking about the Koni Sport "yellows".

Thanks for the responses. Obviously I don't have the *****. Why would using plyers damage the "tabs?" How would you recommend adjusting them without the *****?

 

SO are all the Yellows adjustable?

 

Yellows = Sport = yes

 

So I'm going to continue to adjust the shocks with plyers unless someone can explain a better method...

 

I would think you could go buy a one inch dowel rod...cut it about two inchs long. And dig a lil wood out of it. And use that for a ****.

Pliers won't hurt the shock. They may make it so the "tool" doesn't fit, but my tool stripped out on it's 3rd use and I used pliers for years with no problem.

 

Okay, before this goes on any further, I need to correct myself. :P

I got it backwards.

To stiffen, you need to go COUNTER clock-wise - to the left.

I had the **** sitting on my headboard, and I wanted to take a picture, but my stupid dig cam batteries died. :P

So ignore the first post.
STIFF = counter-clockwise.
