Mine is good on the front but a bit bouncy on the back, RPi said it may need new shocks.

Hi Julian, it's ian.

the shocks on your car have only done about 10k and were brand new when i fitted them. there are 21 different settings on them, does it not firm up when you adjust them?

Do you not need something special to adjust them with? Confused

there is a small knurled thumb wheel at the bottom of the shock, if you reach round the front of each rear wheel you should feel it. it may of siezed with all the british weather, but wd40 and pliers usually works. to make sure each side is adjusted the same, wind them both fully off and then just keep clicking them by the same about each time, i think i had them on 7.
