    Odd questions about coilovers

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have Bilstein PSS9s and like them. The only problem I now have is that my rear right knob has pretty much seized. I haven't given it a really hard turn, but all of the others can be turned with only two fingers. I want to run a 6 in the back now that I have my wider tires on, but that rear right is stuck at 9.

    Has this happened to anyone else? Can I do anything other than just take the wheel off, get a good grip and try turning harder?

    Also, would it be bad for me to roll around with one corner being dampened differently from the rest for a little while?

    That's not good. Have you contacted Bilstein? If you are rubbing and need the 6 then I would run unevenly till I got it fixed. If you aren't rubbing then leave them the same.

    I took off the wheel earlier today and was able to adjust the knob because of my firmer grip. After a few 9->1->9 turns it seems to be loose enough to turn normally. Seems to have just been a little hard at first.

    Well...I'm kind of a softy and I like to go really soft for DD on Houston roads. I'm mostly just adjusting so I can get no rubbing with 245s. With 3 people in the car and a 6 in the back, 9 in the front I don't rub except for on bad bumps. I'm really just testing the limits for now. Next will be to see what 4 people will bring.
