Guest rXSNRG Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 How are the front struts adjusted for ride hieght? I see the two plates, the big nut and the stud with the roll pin in it. I soaked it in WD40 for about a half hour then tried to turn the stud with the roll pin, the roll pin promptly broke. Do I need to relieve the spring tension? Or, am I turning the wrong part?

Guest SubaruJunkie Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 There is a bolt that is on that stud, it is under the spring plate and you need to adjust that nut. THere are actually 2, one on each side of the strut and you need to adjust them both. I will have an article up on the USRM soon regarding this. Have the pictures waiting. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sweet82 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Your doing it right. I fooled with mine the other night and was able to adjust one side half way down before running out of time. I WD40'd then moved the bolt back and forth many times before resetting my wrench. It took some time but it seemed as though any other approach would brake them. I think I was just grinding up the crud off the bolt by doing it that way. Took a lot of time and WD40, but no broken bolts yet:rolleyes: Good luck, Glenn 82 Hatch, transforming:evil: 01 Forester, I buy a new Subaru ever 19 year whether I need one or not:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
