Spray wd40 first

1full turn of bottom nut towards the ground or clockwise looking from top equals 5mm lift

Very easy to do, finish 20 mm lower than back, going off height of arch From road to highest point

get under it and just get on with it

Oh and make sure u jack the front up so the wheels are just touching ground, makes job so much easier

Zippy did mine with truck on the ground its very easy don't worry and just get on with it. don't raise it too much or ur camber will be out and ur front tyres will scrub the outer edge

zippy656 · 27-03-2012, 19:17

only needs 3/4" to 1" lift

If you put the jack on the nut

How are you going to wind it up
