Hi all, I'm having an issue adjusting the driver's side coilover on my gt-s. Has anybody on here had experience with the Greddy Type-S coilovers and run into a stuck adjustment knob? I tried swapping the knobs to see if that was the issue...dropped a little pb blaster in the hole too, but the damper still wont adjust....there is a bit of play in the adjuster, but I believe that is just within the adjuster itself.
Thanks!

Greddy Type-S Coilover Damper adjustment?
Re: Greddy Type-S Coilover Damper adjustment?
These two links show the general arrangement of the components at the
top of the front coilovers, and the adjustment instructions.

I'd suggest taking the coilover apart (the one with the stuck adjuster) to
check that there is nothing bent or broken in there that could jam the
adjuster. If that is all good, and the adjuster still does not work, then there
must be something damaged inside the shock. In that case, it looks like you
are stuck with taking the coilover to a shop that services shocks. Or maybe
a dirt bike service department could look at it for you ?

Re: Greddy Type-S Coilover Damper adjustment?
sounds like a bad /worn out coilover.
Odi at Feal suspension can rebuild any off the shelve coilover
only thing hes at FD Alanta this weekend, so give him some time to
get back in his office but he can handle that rebuild or make them
better. i think last time it was around $100 per coilover shock
located in SoCal area
