i opened the box and they are these red shocks but there is no dial to adjust them? whats up?

red92si · 09-03-2002, 10:49 AM

The front shocks should have the dial on the shock body with 4 selectable positions. The rear shocks have an adjuster on top of the shock like a Koni Yellow.

If you dont have any adjuster knob on the front shocks then you just got ripped off. Sorry.

seems they all have the little dial on the metal top part of the shock but no dial on the body...... is this wrong?

The fronts shocks should have the adjuster knob like the one in this pic:

If it isn't there, I'd get in touch with whoever sold them to you.

tommygun124 · 09-03-2002, 01:20 PM

its not there but they all have the small colorfulone atthe tip of the metal part that u adjust w/ a screw driver... can i get confirmation you sure that the front ones are suppsoed to have that knob?

U.K VTEC · 09-03-2002, 01:24 PM

It sounds like you have four rear shocks! That pic came straight from the KYB website, it is definitely an AGX front shock.

****ing weird.. i have 4 shocks.. 2 are different sizes (fornt, back) and 2 have same part # engraved on em 741032 Rear then the other ones haev 741030, 741031 for the front.... but none of em have the knob and they all have the little 4 way screw driver colored thing........new model?

according to kyb agx product page

Fast on car adjustment
Convenient external dial or slot at top of rod (depending on model) allows for simple hand adjustment of the damping forces for street, cruising, or high speed driving. Eliminating the need to remove parts or lift the vehicle.... does any body actully have these damn things? do all of em have the slot at top of rod of what

He's got the correct ones. ALL FOUR have the adjustment on top of the shock. None of the shocks have the dial on the shock body.

Agreed. My KYB AGX shock has its adjustment on top of the shock.

Fair enough, just seems weird that they show it with the adjuster knob on the shock body...

Oh well, glad it's alright for tommygun124

izeyah · 09-05-2002, 10:59 PM

i thought that too, but i like em on the top personally, easy to get too...

Pheeew, I have four of these sitting in my spare room, waiting for free shop time at the end of the month and they all have the adjusters at the top and you all had me worried, once again, pphhheewww!
