Rear Suspension MAINTENANCE InspectRear 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). Recheck ride height dimension after adjustment. 10. Tighten lock nut securely against adjuster nut when adjustment is complete. 11.

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). Recheck 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. Reinstall fuse box and right side cover.
