KYB AGX Question ??

Just a quick question. How do you change the settings on the front shocks and the back ?

 

Front : With flathead screw driver that they gave you. Press down and turn it to the setting you want.(It's on the top)

Rear : Just turn the **** to the settings.

 

thanks, it seemed so easy it was hard to believe..

 

yea for the front all you have to do is pop your hood and for the rear you have to jack up your car to reach the ***** but it's still a simple and easy process

 

Just remember that when adjusting the front struts with the flathead screwdriver you have to push down and then turn, otherwise you could brake the dial. Once you reach the setting you want, the dial should pop up, if not then turn the dial a little more (back or forth depending on whether you went too far or not far enough).

 

I installed my AGX several months ago, and no matter how hard I push down on the front adjusting screws, they don't want to turn. Is there a specific trick? Anybody in the SF south bay or bay area want to give it a try?

Can I possibly have defective struts?

If I still lived in Vallejo I would help you, but I am a good 500 miles away now. For my strut adjustments I don't have to push down hard at all. Just turn very slightly(and I emphasize, very slightly) and push down, sometimes it seems as if a very small turn might help it go in as you are also pushing it down, just not too much though as the sheet it comes with states that this will damage them(turning without pushing down). Kind of like the dial having to find its groove. I hope this makes sense, it's kind of hard to explain. If this does not work maybe they were damaged during the install, if they were banged up when they were being put in. I had to remind the shop that put in my struts about the dials on the struts, as I had read a post where an Org. member had his damaged by the technician in this way. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll try twisting slightly as I push down on the adjusters. I installed them myself with the help of a friend when we were doing my clutch, and I'm sure that nothing was banged on or damaged in any way during the install. I'm quite **** about my stuff. I'll give it a try in the next couple of days and let you how it goes!
