There is a threaded bolt like thing on the top of the shocks that has a nut on it and can be turned to adjust the bolt like part up or down. My question is what is the purpose of this bolt and what is a recommended hight or thread count sticking out of the shock? I hope someone understands what i mean. Thanks in advance, Luc

 

Come on now, Somebody has to have an idea as to what Im talking about???

 

Stock shocks?

 

Well I got kyb agx shocks now but the it was the same on the stock shocks.

 

Since no one here (including me) seems to know, why not call a KYB distributor and ask them?

Ferd

 

you mean:


the two bolts just help hold the shock together the top part which is yellow and sticks out is where the koni yellows adjust....as I recall, the KYB AGX knob is somewhere lower on the shock

 

yes the middle where the konis adjust. On the kybs they adjust in the same spot but with a screw driver. I will take a picture later maybe that will help out. thanks

 

No spec on the height of the threaded portion just the torque on the bolt. Something like 35ft/lbs but don't quote me. Problem is that the shaft turns as you tighten it so you have to keep the shaft stationary as you torque the nut...using a regular socket on the torque wrench it can't be done. Probably some special socket that has a cut-out in it that allows you to use a wrench or allen key to hold the shaft stationary.

The purpose of this bolt is to keep the shock/spring assembly together.
