Oops!

I dont know why I did it but I did. I made a mistake without knowing, but I loosened the nut at the top of my coilover...Now, on my right front coilover I cannot adjust the dampning. The adjuster just spins.Is there a fix for this? Did I even cause this or could this be a manufacture defect? Anyone have any experience with this? The coilovers im running are Power by Max. Thanks in advance, I dont have much experience with coilovers.

I used an impact gun. That top nut there is for removing/installing camber plates. Install coil, drop the car on its own weight, use an impact gun on that top nut, DONE.

You're welcome.

Just to verify which one? Assuming A, but I just wanna double check. Nut B seems to be aluminum and I dunno how it will hold up to an impact. And Yeah Jason I love them so far.



go ahead and flame me for being a noob. -_-

PBM is just down in San Diego. I'd first give um a call at 858-566-6969 and if you're really not sure, just take um down to them and I'm sure they'd help you out.

I figured out. The top nut is just a "clicker" its only aluminum so i was pretty certain that it wast it.
