40 ford cpe

Looking for a how to adjustment on the shocks going to help a friend of mine get his adjusted the shocks have been rebuilt and work good

Looking at the face of the shock you'll note a small rectangular metal piece at the very center. That turns with a small wrench. Turning it clockwise makes the shock stiffer.
Counter-clockwise makes it looser - more "bounce".

I am not aware of any easy method to determine when "enough is enough" on the adjustment other than to test drive and readjust as you feel may be necessary.

Thanks Kube that easy enough to do now all i have to do is flip a coin to see who’s going underneath one of us might have to lay there while the other guy goes for help ��www.jalopyjournal.net⚕️��www.jalopyjournal.net⚕️

Glad to help.

I find the shocks to be quite good and the adjustments are very effective. I followed the recommendations given.
