Found this while changing the tire on my 2000 civic. Are those adjustable.

The blue thing is the shock.

Dat chrome piece is an adjustable sleeve.

Yellow spring is a.... Spring

Yes those are adjustable for ride height.

Yes they are but you'll need a spanner wrench to be able to adjust the height.I would take a good look at them though the adjustment rings should sit flat and not to the side the way they are.

I think I see a giant rust hole behind it? I think he said that because they look to be in rough condition.

i think it's time to cut your losses and junk this car. it would cost more to fix than replacing the car.

It also looks like the adjusters are broke. May just be your pic angle

It is made of aluminum so DO NOT try to adjust with a screwdriver, try and find the adjustment tool.

spanner nuts are crooked anyways. they prolly wouldnt adjust from being jacked up(threads)
but you can always use a flathead and a hammer to get the spanner nuts loose then jus tap them up or down
