Compression Adjustment
• The compression adjustment (also called
bump) varies the damping of the upward
travel of the wheel relative to the vehicle.
• The compression adjuster is located on the
remote canister fixed to the damper body
and has 14 damping positions. Depending
on vehicle ride height, the car may need to
be raised to gain access to the compression
adjuster. To adjust the compression
damping, turn the finger knob: clockwise
stiffens; counterclockwise softens when
viewed from the top surface of the finger
knob.
• All settings are referenced from the full stiff
(position “0”). The “0” position on
compression is achieved by turning the
finger knob clockwise until you cannot turn
it any further.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your dampers DO NOT force the finger knob when it stops turning.
Also, NEVER use any tools to adjust the finger knob.
• From the “0” position, turning the adjuster counterclockwise will soften the damping.
Count off the clicks and record your setting. Every “click” is a new damping position
(i.e. two clicks softer from the full stiff position is position “2”).
