Title: Shock Adjustments
Post by: dirtracer68 on October 15, 2015, 08:40:53 pm
 Does anyone use a coil-over thrust bearing kit on their shocks? If so, where do you purchase them? Which brand of spanner wrench works best? I was also told Ken Joyce is buying the Bilstein Shock Kits and machining them to be "click" adjusters. I'm curious if anyone has tried them and what their thoughts are?

The click adjusters have been available from USLC for over a year

Ok, do you or anyone else have pictures on what they look like or have any thoughts on how they work?

What about my other questions?

What is the benefit of the click adjuster. Is it to keep your shock adjuster nut form turning? We have to tape ours atm.

Exactly, they have detents so that you do not have to tape or hose clamp the adjusters.

Never seen a "coil over thrust bearing kit" on a Legend...would probably be illegal

You are probably right. Do you know which spanner wrench fits best?

A cheap adjustable one. I just use my hand though...

Yeah that's not happening if the shock has any kind of load on it...that was the reason for my original question. It's a good time to use  a coil-over thrust bearing kit, if of course it was legal.

Quick jack up, turn by hand, put car back down. Its worked for me for 8 years.
Moroso makes a cheap adjustable spanner wrench though
