2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting nut in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).
NOTE:
● Use the special wrench included in
the owner’s tool kit to make the ad-
justment.
● The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The long-
er distance A is, the lower the
spring preload; the shorter dis-
tance A is, the higher the spring
preload.
3. Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
ECA10120
Always tighten the locknut against
the adjusting nut, and then tighten
the locknut to the specified torque.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting knob in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (b).
