OK, i ordered some KYB AGX from ebay, received them, but 2 of them don't have any way of adjusting them. Can someone who owns them help me out? i thought they were adjustable?

are you sure? they should be on the top of the metal rod. Some version of agx came with the adjustable **** on the side.

 

What year, for what car? Do you have pics of them? The AGX's that I used to have ad adjusting ability on all four of them. They adjust at the top of the shocks.

 

i ordered mine off ebay.. all four have 4 way adjustable ***** on the top of the piston rod that have to be pushed in and turned then released..
other models have **** on side.. and i believe the ones that dont have ***** are factory replacements

 

ok, its a 98 civic hatchback, i received all 4. 2 of them have a **** at the bottom and like a fork missing the middle stick and the other don't have taht piece nor a ****, can someone help me out?

 

lemme check for the top adjusting..

 

better hope that they sent you the right ones.

 

ok, i have the adjusting on the top but on those there is no fork to like hook up to the arm? i put suspension on my previous car but this is different can someone tell me?

 

do all 4 look the same? The fronts should be a round at the bottom to plug into the top of a fork. The rears are supposed to have a fork to go around the LCA.

 

no, 2 look the same 2 are "missing" the fork to attach themselves? is something wrong here? did i get a different year set of shocks?

 

no in the fron of the car you have a fork that has a hole in it already.. you slide the shock into it and it clamps down with a bolt

 

it sounds like you have the right stuff
front and rear shocks are different.. plus the fronts you must note when you do them.. that there are brake lines that srew into the shock.. so there is a right and left to them..

 

i dont think im making myself clear. shocks look like this: http://www.leda.com/images/civic.jpg


2 of each. only the ones without forks have adjustment on rod. anyhelp? 98 civic hatchback.

 

I think you goy the wrong shocks.

 

damn.. alright thanks.

That's pretty much how the bottom of the shocks are supposed to look. I think you got the right ones. The ones that you keep saying that are missing the "forks" go in the front, and the ones with the "forks" go in the rear. Why don't you just show us a picture of the actual ones you have?

Do two of your shocks look like the one in the picture here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33590

 

the front struts use your existing fork. the back has the "fork" built in to go onto your lowercontrol arm. hope this helps.

 

But he says two of them don't have anything to allow for adjustment on them. Thats not right.

Yeah, you use the existing forks for the front.

 

it's really not rocket science.. you should be able to figure it out on your own from here.. good luck.

 

it also helps to have an impact gun for getting some of he bolts off. They can be a bitch.

 

96 hatch, front are on top. rear have a ****.
