Adjusting rear springs on GL

I dug and dug to find tips on how to do this, didnt find much so thought I would add this here.

 

  1. With car on ground, remove nut on top of shock 
  2. Lift rear of car
  3. Top of shock will either fall out of the top hole or not.
  4. Whack, whack, whack the spring and knock off all the mud and you will see that there is no tension on the spring.  If your springs are on anything but the lowest setting you may need to help by standing on the hub/rotor.  1 of mine fell out of the hole, the other didnt.
  5. Bang up on the plate at bottom of spring to loosen it from mud or rust if you have it.  Penetrating oil might be needed.
  6. Once you loosen it all up, adjust and reassemble.  Its pretty straight forward and if you have trouble just sit there and look at it for a minute, it will come to you.

Make sense?
