Precauzioni di sicurezza

Always prioritize safety when working on your vehicle's suspension. Improper installation can lead to serious injury or vehicle damage.

• Installazione professionale consigliata: Due to the complexity and safety-critical nature of suspension components, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended.
• Utilizzare gli strumenti adeguati: Ensure you have all necessary tools, including a torque wrench, spring compressor (if applicable), jack stands, and wheel chocks.
• Indossare indumenti di sicurezza: Indossare sempre dispositivi di protezione individuale adeguati, tra cui occhiali e guanti di sicurezza.
• Supporto veicoli: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always use sturdy jack stands on a level surface.
• Leggi il manuale del veicolo: Per le specifiche e le procedure di coppia specifiche, consultare il manuale di manutenzione del veicolo.
• Ispezione dei componenti: Inspect all components for damage or defects before installation. Do not install damaged parts.

Configurazione e installazione

Pre-installazione

• Raccogli strumenti: Assicurarsi che tutti gli strumenti necessari siano disponibili.
• Ispezionare i componenti: Verificare che tutte le parti siano presenti e integre.
• Preparazione del veicolo: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and chock the wheels. Loosen lug nuts on the wheels to be removed.
• Veicolo elevatore: Safely lift the vehicle and support it with jack stands. Remove the wheels.

Fasi di installazione (guida generale)

These are general steps. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed, model-specific instructions.

1. Remove Old Suspension: Disconnect brake lines, ABS sensors, and sway bar links as necessary. Unbolt the top mount and lower mounting points of the old strut/shock assembly. Carefully remove the old components.
2. Assemble Coilovers (if required): Some coilover kits may require assembly of the spring onto the damper body. Follow the specific instructions provided with your kit.
3. Install New Coilovers: Carefully insert the new coilover assembly into position. Secure the top mount bolts first, then align and secure the lower mounting points. Do not fully tighten bolts until the vehicle is at ride height.
4. Ricollegare i componenti: Reattach brake lines, ABS sensors, and sway bar links. Ensure all lines and wires are routed correctly and not pinched.
5. Regolazione iniziale dell'altezza di marcia: Make an initial ride height adjustment using the provided wrenches. Ensure there is adequate clearance for all components.
6. Reinstallare le ruote: Mount the wheels and hand-tighten the lug nuts.

Post installazione

• Veicolo inferiore: Abbassare con cautela il veicolo a terra.
• Coppia finale: With the vehicle at ride height, fully tighten all suspension mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque values using a torque wrench.
• Allineamento: A professional wheel alignment is absolutely necessary after installing new suspension components to ensure proper handling and tire wear.
• Prova su strada: Perform a cautious test drive to check for any unusual noises, vibrations, or handling characteristics.

Operating & Adjustment

Regolazione dell'altezza di marcia

The maXpeedingrods coilover system allows for adjustable ride height. This adjustment is made by rotating the lower spring perch using the provided spanner wrenches.

1. Veicolo elevatore: Safely lift and support the vehicle to relieve pressure from the suspension.
2. Loosen Locking Collar: Use the spanner wrench to loosen the locking collar located above the spring perch.
3. Adjust Spring Perch: Rotate the spring perch to raise or lower the vehicle. Turning it clockwise will lower the vehicle, and counter-clockwise will raise it. Make small, even adjustments on both sides of an axle.
4. Tighten Locking Collar: Once the desired height is achieved, firmly tighten the locking collar against the spring perch to secure the adjustment.
5. Repeat for all Coilovers: Ensure all four corners are adjusted evenly for balanced handling.
6. Allineamento finale: After any significant ride height adjustment, a professional wheel alignment is required.

Manutenzione

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your coilover suspension system.

• Ispezione regolare: Ispezionare periodicamente tutti i componenti delle sospensioni per verificare la presenza di segni di usura, danni o perdite. Verificare la presenza di bulloni o dadi allentati.
• Componenti puliti: Keep the coilovers clean, especially the threaded sections, to prevent dirt and debris from hindering adjustments or causing corrosion.
• Controllare la coppia: Re-check the torque of all mounting bolts after the first 500-1000 miles (800-1600 km) of driving, and then periodically thereafter.
• Protezione dalla corrosione: In areas with harsh weather or road salt, consider applying a corrosion-inhibiting spray to exposed metal parts.
