air suspension adjustment help

[snowbird]

Hi,

I saw on a previous tread that it's possible to lower the rear suspension by sliding the bracket attached to the tracking arm.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

I proceeded as specified by the procedure, meaning, loosing the nuts of the bracket and sliding it IN THE DIRECTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE (to lower the car).<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Unfortunatly, the car raised up about 3/4 of an inch. Since i forget to put the trunk switch at off, i decided to wait 2-3 days for the suspension to settle but it didn't move from it's new position.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Before i fool around again (!). i would have a question:<o:p></o:p>

Is it possible that that the bracket must be slided IN THE DIRECTION OF THE DRIVER to effectively lower the car ? (I understand, giving the results, this would seem obvious but, looking at the underside bracketry, the logic seem to be pointing to sliding the bracket toward the passenger side).

<o:p></o:p>

Thanks for your consideration. Regards

The bracket needs to slide towards the drivers door to lower the rear.

Cheers!

I just updated it to correct the instructions. I corrected another thread that referenced this one awhile back but forgot about this one. Sorry 'bout that, folks!

And after reading the info in that link, it mentioned using a 7/16 socket. That's a no-no. Everything on the Marauder is Metric. IF I remember correctly, I think it requires an 11 mm and a 7 mm socket to loosen TWO adjustment nuts.

That's a metric 7/16.

When it comes to back ends, we all know that height does matter. Thanks you all for solving this little mystery.
