AVO Shock problem
Fifer - 11/5/04 at 08:14 AM

I have a set of AVO's fitted and only now that I am getting ready for SVA date I have run the car on the road to MOT and tried setting shockers to see difference in ride. Problem is, one of the adjusters just turns and turns, i.e. doesnt do anything where as the others turn around 20 clicks or so and you can feel the adjuster getting stiffer as you turn it clockwise.
They are out of warranty as purchased at start of build but wondered if anyone knows how to resolve this ?

Thanks for that, I will probably have to send it back but will have to wait till SVA passed.

Off the top of my head and without going into the workshop to look, isn't there a grub screw that holds the adjuster knob on? Could this have come loose?

Know what you mean, will check that.

Thanks

Thanks NS Dev, thats what it was. The grub screw was loose and now fine. It seams that even if the screw is loose, the adjusting knob still has the click action, must be the knob that has the click and the grub screw just attaches it to the internal shocker valve.
Sorted !!
