Seized collars...

[Coby.]

Hi,

Trying to adjust the height of my front H&R's but the adjuster collars seem seized... Is it just a matter of soaking them in WD40 a few times and then trying or is there a better way OR am I stuck at the height they are?

Thanks
Andy.

Mine are the same. I was just going to give them a good soaking and hope that eases them enough.

A good soak with wd and some gentle taps with a hammer.

A good soak with wd and some f*****g great smacks with a mallet.

Fixed.

if your struggling try something better than WD40 like plusgas or super slacks - brilliant stuff

Cheers guys... It's going back in the garage soon so I'll see what they can do but I'll hit it with some more WD40 for now.

coilovers really need more maintenance, keeping them cleaner to stop them seizing. Most people treat them like normal suspension. Fit them then never touch them again..
