Adjusting the Rear Suspension

Spring Preload

You can adjust the spring preload by the adjuster to suit the load or the road surface.

Adjusting the suspension requires a pin spanner. We recommend that you have your vehicle serviced by your dealer.

The preload adjuster has 10 positions. Positions 1 to 4 is for a decrease spring preload (soft), or turn the position 6 to 10 is for an increase spring preload (hard). The standard position is 5.
