i got a 97 civic dx, and i adjusted only 3 of my coilovers so that my car can be dropped alittle bit. But my back right left suspension wont seem to drop. I mean the first spinner on the top that holds the springs seems to be jammed. I got the bottom spinner moving freely, but the top one seems to just stick. I even tried wd-40 and gripping the coilovers so that i can move the top spinner but nothing seems to work. Can someone help? or any suggestions? Thanks.

 

try to contact skunk 2 and tell them about your problem. they should give you some advice.

 

do you have the keys to move the perches? if not u can use a screwdriver to put in the indention and hit it softly with a hammer.

 

yeah, i used the key to move the perches thingy, but it moves the whole coilover thingy that its on.

 

try moving it up first then down, and repeating it, or try the screwdriver and hammer thing.

 

just hit it hard you *****

 

dont be a dick falkenSir! But when i tried turning the perches, the perches also moves the threaded aluminum sleeves too. And i tried gripping the sleeves, but when i do get a good grip and turn the perches it makes a Bad Squeeky sound.. Like running your hands down a chalkboard. And i know i am turning the perches the correct way too, because i have done alot of coilovers in my life.. Any one know my problem now? thanks

When I had just sleeve coilovers mine made a similar sound. It's just built up dirt in the threads. If you cant get the perches to turn in the worst case you can pull the strut out and put some thicker o rings on so the coilover doesnt spin when loosing the perches. If there is a good bit of dirt on them though you made need to hit them pretty good.

 

Thanks, 8krdline.. imma try that tommor. IF i run into anything else i let you know about it.
