Adjusting the ride height:
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Both left and right side wheels should be lifted off the ground to allow
adjustment of the spring seats without damage. Never make ride height adjustments with the suspen-
sion loaded. The helper spring should never be fully compressed while adjusting ride heights.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
3. Loosen the set screw on the lower spring seat (approx 1 turn).
4. To lower the ride height, use the spanner wrench and rotate the lower spring seat counter-clockwise
(as viewed from below the damper). Use the set screw as a reference to return to street height.
5. To raise the ride height, first turn the seat in the counter-clockwise direction and ensure the threads
are clear of debris. Use the spanner wrench and reverse the direction.
6. Tighten the set screw to 22 in-lbs (2.5 N·m). DO NOT over tighten this screw.
The ride height adjustment sensitivity is as follows:
Front: One turn = 0.104 in. (2.6 mm) height change at frame
Rear: One turn = 0.134 in. (3.4 mm) height change at frame
5.2 Ride Height Adjustment
Your ACR is delivered from the factory at a ride height that provides
a good balance for drivability on the street. The adjustable suspen-
sion allows for ride height adjustment. As with all of the suspension
adjustments, caution should be used when changing the ride height.
CAUTION: Only the factory ride heights should be used while
operating the vehicle on the street. Low ride heights can cause
damage to the vehicle.
Before any adjustments are made to your ride height, clean threaded
area with soapy water to be sure it is free and clear of debris.
