3. Measure the ride height using the ride
height gauge at the front and rear of the
car at the lowest points of the chassis.
ADJUSTING RIDE HEIGHT
Adjust ride height using spring preload only.
DO NOT adjust ride height using the downstop setscrews.
PRELOAD SETTING THREADED PRELOAD COLLAR
Increase
TIGHTEN collar so it moves DOWN the shock body.
Decrease
LOOSEN collar so it moves UP the shock body.
ADJUSTING FRONT RIDE HEIGHT
Adjust front ride height by increasing or decreasing the preload on the front shock springs.
• INCREASE (raise) front ride height: TIGHTEN the spring preload collars on the front
shocks (increasing the preload).
This moves the collars DOWN the shock bodies.
• DECREASE (lower) front ride height: LOOSEN the spring preload collars on the front
shocks (decreasing the preload).
This moves the collars UP the shock bodies.
ADJUSTING REAR RIDE HEIGHT
Adjust rear ride height by increasing or decreasing the preload on the rear shock springs.
• INCREASE (raise) rear ride height: TIGHTEN the spring preload collars on the rear
shocks (increasing the preload).
This moves the collars DOWN the shock bodies.
• DECREASE (lower) rear ride height: LOOSEN the spring preload collars on the rear
shocks (decreasing the preload).
This moves the collars UP the shock bodies.
CAMBER
RIDE HEIGHT
Camber is the angle of a wheel to the surface on which the car is resting (with wheels and
shock absorbers mounted).
• Zero degrees (0°) of camber means that the wheel is perpendicular to the reference
surface.
• Negative camber (for example, -2.0°) means that the top of the wheel is leaning
inwards towards the centerline of the car.
• Positive camber (for example, +2.0°) means that the top of the wheel is leaning
outwards from the centerline of the car.
Camber affects the car’s traction. Generally more negative (inward) camber means incre-
ased grip since the side-traction of the wheel increases.
Adjust front camber so that the front tires wear fl at. Adjust rear camber so that the rear
tires wear slightly conical to the inside. The amount of front camber required to maintain
the maximum contact patch also depends on the amount of caster. Higher caster angles
(more inclined) require less negative camber, while lower caster angles (more upright)
require more negative camber.
