how to adust spax

[samco]

I've got spax adjustables on he rear of my wedge and when it went on the road I fully unwound the adjusters to make them as soft as possible to allow the car to settle on its new poly bushes. How may turns of adjustment are there on these adjusters and what would you reccommend for fast road use

If it doesn't fit you obviously need a bigger hammer.

Adjust them 1/2 turn at a time until you find the setting that suits.

Hi,

I've got the same on the rear of mine. There should be 12 clicks of adjustment, each click roughly 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn.

Most drivers prefer the Spax about 2 - 4 clicks away from minimum, mine are on setting 2 as I like my fillings to stay in my teeth. With your screwdriver, unwind the adjusters fully anticlockwise, you should feel when they come to the end of the adjustment. Then wind gently clockwise and you should feel it click into each setting.

I went up to 6 once and felt every ripple on the road. Probably great for a track day but not our pot holed roads.

Cheers,


Adam
