Suspension tweaks

Guys,

I havent really looked at the suspension setup on the AK since SVA & find it wallows a bit on uneven roads & when I corner hard I can get the tyre sidewalls contacted the inner wheel arches. To raise the ride height buy say 5-10mm do I turn the collets on the shocks clockwise compressing the springs? To stop the wallow I presume I turn the rebound knob on the shocks a few clicks towards the "+" sign?

Regards,
Martyn

To raise the ride height you do need to compress the springs, Turn the collars clockwise to do them up. If you want 10mm higher though you won't need to turn them 10mm further up as the damper is halfway down the wishbone. Try maybe one turn of the collars and see what happens.

Turn the damper adjustment towards the + sign to make them stiffer. This should reduce the amount of bounce. I turned my ones fully anticlockwise then turned them fully clockwise counting the number of clicks.
I started in the middle of that range and adjusted from there.

Craig.
