Rear Suspension MAINTENANCE Adjust Rear Shock Absorber Preload (Ride Height) 7. The uppermost spanner nut on the shock is the locknut (1). The spanner nut closest to the spring is the adjuster nut (2). Loosen the locknut by turning it counterclockwise (as viewed from the top of shock absorber) with the spanner wrench. 8. Spray a light lubricant on the adjuster nut where it contacts the spring. DO NOT allow spray to contact the drive belt. 9. Adjust shock absorber preload by rotating adjuster nut clockwise (as viewed from the top of shock absorber) to INCREASE the ride height measurement (firm), and counterclockwise to DECREASE the ride height measurement (softer). Re-check ride-height dimension after adjustment. 10. Tighten lock nut securely against adjuster nut when adjustment is complete. 11. Reinstall fuse box bracket and securely tighten the 3 bolts that secure panel to chassis. 12. Re-install fuse box and right side cover. 1 3 2 4 1. 2. 3. 4.

7.
The uppermost spanner nut on the shock is the locknut (1).
The spanner nut closest to the spring is the adjuster nut (2).
Loosen the locknut by turning it counterclockwise (as viewed
from the top of shock absorber) with the spanner wrench.
8.
Spray a light lubricant on the adjuster nut where it contacts the
spring. DO NOT allow spray to contact the drive belt.
9.
Adjust shock absorber preload by rotating adjuster nut
clockwise (as viewed from the top of shock absorber) to
INCREASE the ride height measurement (firm), and
counterclockwise to DECREASE the ride height measurement
(softer). Re-check ride-height dimension after adjustment.
10. Tighten lock nut securely against adjuster nut when adjustment
is complete.
11. Reinstall fuse box bracket and securely tighten the 3 bolts that
