Tħaddim u Aġġustamenti

The Bilstein B14 (PSS) suspension kit features threaded bodies for precise ride height adjustment, allowing for lowering of up to 50 mm. These adjustments should only be performed with the vehicle safely supported and the wheels removed.

Ride Height Adjustment Procedure:

  1. Ipprepara Vettura: Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and securely supported on jack stands or a lift. Remove the wheels to access the suspension components.
  2. Loosen Locking Ring: Using the provided spanner wrenches, loosen the locking ring located above the spring perch.
  3. Adjust Spring Perch: Turn the spring perch to raise or lower the vehicle. Turning clockwise typically lowers the vehicle, while counter-clockwise raises it. Make small, even adjustments on both sides of the vehicle to maintain balance.
  4. Tighten Locking Ring: Once the desired ride height is achieved, tighten the locking ring against the spring perch to secure the adjustment.
  5. Reassemble and Align: Reinstall wheels and lower the vehicle. Drive the vehicle a short distance to allow the suspension to settle. A professional wheel alignment is critical after any ride height adjustment to ensure proper handling and prevent premature tire wear.
