Mustang Strut 2011/2012

Getting Started:
The Mustang Struts are set from the factory at recommended starting settings for your application.
They are pressurized and ready to go. The starting pressure for the Mustang Strut is will range from
75-225 psi, depending on application.
Adjusters:
The most popular and common adjuster are the dual-bleed adjusters, these are nested within the same
mechanism. This means that when making a compression adjustment, the rebound adjuster will NOT
turn. When making a rebound adjustment, the compression knob will rotate. This is normal. If the
rebound adjuster turns when you are making a compression adjustment, you may be side loading the
knob or you may have “locked” them together. Check for debris in the threads and or check the
straightness of the screws.
The Dual-Bleed adjuster mechanism provides the following ranges:
• Compression Adjuster ( Black Hand Knob): 40 clicks
(stiffer = clockwise; 0 = full hard, -40 = full soft)
• Rebound Adjuster (Red Hand Knob): 40 clicks
(stiffer = clockwise; 0 = full hard, -40 = full soft)
**you will get more clicks than 20, depending on your valving, -20 clicks is typically full soft.**
Do not over-tighten the adjusters. When making adjustments, they will have a positive stop. In order to
close off the bleed, you do not need to continue to turn the knob for it to seal.
