Default ooops! screwed up my new Konis

I was showing my new rear Koni yellow adjustables to a buddy of mine, when he started twisting them different ways. Now they are at different adjustments and i can't find anyway to get them back to normal. They are brand new, still have box, never installed, just bought them.

Any suggestions?

You can turn the tube shocks back to full soft and adjust from there, I think there are instruction in the box. The struts are even easier with the ****. If you need the adjustment instructions, go to www.paragonproducts.com and poke around for the tech article on adjusting Koni's. It's pretty comprehensive, easy fix.

Put the top bolt hole in a vice, push the other end in and rotate counter-clockwise until it stops, then release it. That's full soft. From there push it in again, and go clockwise. I think it's about 720-degrees to full stiff.

So, uh... did you slap him upside the head, or what?

unless you had the bump stops removed and he fully compressed the shocks, he did not change the adjustment. Just turning the shaft will do nothing.

MHT is correct. If the bump stops were in you've got nothing to worry about.
