Confused on what's going on. Don't mean to be a grammar nazi but I absolutely have no idea what you're talking about. Are you taking about making adjustments to the damper? Say for example, wanting to make the ride more stiff/soft?

Call Megan Racing - maybe they'll be able to understand you, because I certainly can't.

Allen key. ~3-4 mm. Rear ones might not be long enough or buy some new ones.

lmao i type this half asleep im sorry guys but i dont have a knob on the front coils im using a allen key but the right coil to the left isnt adjusting for me. also the bolt thats 17mm one is higher than the other. kinda hard to explain but think of it as one show thread alot of it about 1 inch and the other one doesnt show any it just looks kinda like a bolt head

Let me guess... you bought them used for dirt cheap.
Previous owner(or you) used an impact wrench on the top nut, shock shaft spins, adjustment valve gets stuck, pretends to lose adjustment knobs. Sells it to you.

Torque ratings for the stock suspension are listed in here-

Torque them. Use a torque wrench. Good luck.

I attempted to fix that for you but I am still not 100% sure of your meaning..

There not the same length please help. Right now it's not clunking at each bump but when I turn hard it clunks a little low tone

bryansuriel3 · 09-26-2016, 11:00 PM

Also both sway links are tighten to its max
The rear coils dont clunk or anything there good
