KW V1 won't adjust

Izzy559 · 04-21-2017, 08:49 PM

Having some trouble adjusting the rear. When I go to adjust the height the whole spring turns. Any suggestions on how to fix this? 2011 328i. Thank you!

You either need to remove the spring and adjust the perch before putting it on or find a way to stop the upper mount from spinning.

I personally used a small vice grip to stop the upper mount from spinning. Then adjusted the height accordingly. It's a PITA when it's on the car but it is what it is.

I'll try the vice grip. Dam thought it was supposed to be easy to do this.
