The ST 44 shock absorber features the
following adjusters:
- Compression damping adjuster
- Rebound damping adjuster
- Spring pre-load adjuster
NOTE!
The shock absorber must be dialed to
settings for the specific vehicle, track
conditions and driver.
The adjusters for compression and rebound
have normal right hand treads.
Position zero (0) is when the adjusters are
turned clockwise into fully closed.
(maximum damping)
CAUTION!
Using too much force when closing the
adjusters can destroy important sealing
surfaces.
How to set damping
Turn counter clockwise (out) to open. Count
the clicks so you know in what position the
damping is set. Note settings before you test
drive, so you can make changes to optimize
the suspension for your driving style and the
track you are racing at. See Owners manual
for more detailed description.
