Moderate Competition Engineering Shock Extent
Competition Engineering shock absorbers are manufactured to be adjustable. This lets you quarters the bag a vehicle handles under general or acrid conditions. For relay vehicles and drag racers in specific, an adjustable shock absorber and coil spring packet can comfort in leaving the contour inaugural and getting to the cusp safely. Competition Engineering's high-quality performance parts and aftermarket gear subsume adjustable drag chase shocks, which can be fix to country the load of horsepower now and compacted, or smooth and yet, depending on the relay track conditions.
Instructions
Hitting the Track
1. Lift the rear axel housing using the hydraulic jack so that the jack supports the weight of the housing and gear during adaption of the shock absorber. Cause the ½" manage socket wrench to loosen the top and backside securing points of the rear shock absorbers. Evaluation for the setting of the shock absorber to confirm the duty for modify. The setting Testament be indicated on the shock absorber shaft and pronounced by 30/70, 40/60 or 50/50. Front-end absorbers are decided either 90/10, 80/20 or 60/40.
2. Proceeds the strength of the coil-over springs using a spanner wrench. This type of adapter is elementary to turn the supporting coil-over spring mould follower, which releases the energy in the springs. When adjusting for contradistinctive load requirements during contest conditions, you can exercise the adjustable shocks from Competition Engineering to receive a more useful dawning than the competition. Loosen the imitation aficionado supporting the coil-over spring and the shock absorber arm Testament be ready to be adjusted.
3. Replace the shock arm(s) into the mounting bracket and secure using the nut and bolt pair that was removed during the adjustment. Secure them tightly (120-feet pounds) to protect against wear and the shake that can accompany a drag race liftoff. Use a lineup tool like a wooden dowel to be sure that you do not damage the threads on the securing bolts, nor the inside of the adjustable drag shock arm eyelet, which rotates inside a collar. The opposite will happen if you turn the other way. Find the setting you want To possess the shocks set at and twist the arm until it is indicated by the shock to be correct. Complete this step for each rear shock absorber.
4. Remove the top bolt securing the shock absorber to the vehicle using the ½" ride socket wrench. Pull the bolt outside and Proceeds the shock from the car. Wipe away any film or debris that may be attached to the shock absorber arms and locate the indexed marks on the arm. Twist the arm clockwise and note which way the indexed marks move to.
5. Tighten the coil over-spring so that it has enough tension in it to create push-back against the top of the shock cap, but not enough To possess deflection in the spring, which shows up as a bent or protruding section. Because the loads require that the springs and shocks be compatible during different settings, be sure your coil-over springs are cut to the correct length if not purchased with the adjustable shocks.
