erating conditions. You can reduce preload for a
softer ride, or increase preload if frequent bottom-
ing occurs or when carrying loads.

and right sides to the same setting. Uneven ad-
justment can cause poor handling and loss of
stability, which could lead to an accident.NOTICE

creased wear or damage to the vehicle.
The rear wheels need to be removed to adjust the
rear shock absorber assemblies. (See pages
