I am trying to adjust my front coil overs. Did the passenger side. Jacked up on frame, loosened bolt on collar, adjusted no prob. Doing same on passenger side, loosened collar and the whole coil over assembly is turning together, so not ajusting. Any ideas?

thanks

You need the coil over tool, as the two pieces are locked together. You gotta unlock 'em. There's a cheeaper one that I can't recall the name of right now, but the longacre one is here:


Get two of them and turn in opposite directions to unlock.

That's a spanner. But, ground controls don't use two locking collars like Global West stuff does, so a second spanner won't help.

The coil-over sleeve is turning on the shock. The ideas of loading the lower control arm and using something to hold the sleeve from turning are both good. I'd use a rubber strap wrench instead of channel-lock pliers to hold the sleeve though. The sleeve doesn't get marred and you have a better grip too. I *have* used big pliers, but a strap wrench is easier to control/less messy IMHO, YMMV.
