hi all, one of the adjusters wont turn either way on one of my shocks,
does this mean its knackered or is there any way i can free it off?
i dont want to put too much pressure on it and snap it off.

Are you adjusting them under load? When i fitted mine it said you must jack up the car and then adjust them. Probably not the issue but thought i would mention

You make it sound like its somthing you do every day but it obviously isnt! Didnt know that adjusting koni's was part of every service lol. Like i said earlyier koni advise you to adust them off load and i personally woulnt do it any other way. Like i said didnt think it would be the issue but thought i would just mention it! No need to take the piss when pll are just trying to help

The older, non top adjustables have to be removed from the car to adjust. This is because you have to push them fully inwards and then rotate the rod to adjust.
The top adjustables can be set with the car on its wheels. Never had a problem with doing so.
