#1 Spax Adjustable shock absorbers

Post by gmunro » Wed Jan 12, 2022 12:25 pm

Gents,

I have new Spax adjustable shock absorbers for the front suspension of my S1, 4.2 OTS. My question to Forum members is - which way round are the shock absorbers mounted : with the adjuster wheel facing the disk, or the adjuster wheel facing the engine block? :helpsign:

Your advice and guidance is much appreciated. :salute:

Yours aye,
