Adjustable Shocks
Ok for some time I have wondered why my rear passenger side sits higher than the driver side, and I come to find out that I have aftermarket shocks Tokico gas shocks, they are white with red writing .My question is are those shocks adjustable?

RE: Adjustable Shocks
is there a *** on them. how much higher does your oneside sit than other side. they could just have put the springs on 2 differnt ways if you have aftermarket springs. i did that on my stang when i did my lower control arms and my pass side sits 1/4 inch higher than my driver side.

RE: Adjustable Shocks
I would say almost an 1" higher than the other side. My only thing I can think is that its adjustable, or the springs werent installed right. And if they are adjustable where would the adjuster be, and how can I tell if the spring is installed wrong?

RE: Adjustable Shocks
the adjustment place on teh shocks for teh rear will be at the very top where they bolt in inside of the trunk. YOu have to pull out the liners on the sides to get to teh shocks in the trunk. As far as adjusting them to change the height, Im not too sure because I thought they only changed how stiff they are. The springs were likely installed wrong and but the backs are easy to change out and mess with.
good luck
good luck
