How do you read AFCO shock numbers?

How do you read AFCO shock numbers?

AFCO, Pro and QA1 shocks will always have the shock series first then the stroke of the shock compression numbers first and rebound second. Bilstein will have also list the series of shock first in the number the stroke. However, they will list rebound first on the shock then the compression.

How do I set up my AFCO shocks?

You want to go all the way clockwise until you hit the stop, then count your clicks counter-clockwise until you get to your starting point. On the compression end, it’s the same situation. Turn the adjuster all the way clockwise, then count your clicks counter-clockwise until you get to your starting point.

How do you adjust AFCO coilover shocks?

AFCO recommends making 2 (TWO) clicks per adjustment to fine tune the chassis. The compression adjustment is made on the body end of the shock. Turning the knob clockwise tightens the valving, making the shock stiffer to compress (right hand threads). This adjustment is also commonly referred to as the “Bump”.

How do you adjust double adjustable front shocks?

The double adjustable Strange shocks will have 2 knobs. The plastic knob is for the extension (rebound) and the metal knob adjusts compression (bump). Clockwise will stiffen the shock and counter-clockwise decrease the resistance of the shock.

What do shock numbers mean?

The first digit is the shock stroke. The higher the valve number the more force it will take to compress the shock. Rebound Valving- Determines how much force it takes to extend the shock. The higher the number the slower the shock will extend.

What does valving mean for shocks?

Stiffer valving causes a shock to react more quickly. Softer valving slows the reaction of the shock. Stiffer valving gets the load to change more quickly. Stiffer rebound valving gets the load off a tire more quickly and onto an opposite tire faster.
