Trying to adjust my Illuminas (no indicator on rears)

The front struts are a no-brainer...twist the indicator and there's a "collar" that shows what setting the strut is set to. I went to do the rears but that collar isn't there. How do I know what I'm set to in the rear?

Wll if ur looking at the top of the strut and u see the screw you turn, just take the indicator from one of the front struts, they usually slide right off. Then put it on the back strut top, it only fits one way there is a notch in it. Then adjust the strut to your liking and replace the indicator.
