How low can you safely go with adjusters

[kempy]

Read a few threads and not certain what you would consider a safe drop as to not put incorrect pressure on the balljoints causing them to fail.

Not that i intend to go any lower with mine @ about 3.5" from standard height.

Just interested if i should keep an eye on the joints or forget.

Is that.......

'4" means no worries whatsoever no matter how big the bump. '

or

'4" will be OK most of the time but when you come across that big rut down the bottom of my road that simultaneously bent both track rods on the Beetle your going to bottom out or break something'

I know, just used my beetle suspension eating rut as the example to wonder whether the van would come a cropper as well.

I'll try to use plain english from her on in, edited that thread because it read as complete jibberish the first time :lol:

No more rum, time for bed..........
