is this correct for the rears?
i would have expected the bottom of the adjuster to fit completely over the round spring retainer on the axle.

help please have i got the wrong adjuster or is this normal.

the helper is fully compressed when the car is standing on mine, i think it is there to stop the main spring rattling when the shock piston is fully extended. it won't be smoothing the ride much fully compressed.

yeh but if ya wind the adjusters right up the main suspension spring is not mving around at all and thats with no weight on it

i have to set all the hieghts up tomorrow. id say i could get aabout another 10-15mm in the front before the adjusters would be hitting the tyres

i thought they'd have like -40, -50, -60mm on the things somewere so u'd know what hieght u were at.

ive been using a tape to just measure the amount of thread from the start of the thread to the adjusters. nuthin much else ya can do.

i think it will be tracking only. camber needs to be set up with specialist gear, some vauxhall garage's have the kit.
personally i'm gonna just set the camber myself for the minute, trial and error and a boat level maybe

. trip to vaux in the near future though .
