Re: 40 ford cpe
Looking at the face of the shock you'll note a small rectangular metal piece at the very center. That turns with a small wrench. Turning it clockwise makes the shock stiffer.
Counter-clockwise makes it looser - more "bounce". I am not aware of any easy method to determine when "enough is enough" on the adjustment other than to test drive and readjust as you feel may be necessary.

Re: 40 ford cpe
Glad to help.
I find the shocks to be quite good and the adjustments are very effective. I followed the recommendations given. Glenn |
