[QUOTE="MarcusPB, post: 384950, member: 18537"] Update and plee for advice. I've tried to adjust my adjustable front beams. It doesn't seem to be working though. From what I've read etc it should be simple right. Jacked it up. undone the locking nut, loosened the adjuster thing using an allen key. With it jacked up off the wheels it should then have dropped the wheels a bit lower, twisting the adjusters towards the top of the beam. Am I right here? That's not what happened. Nothing happened. No movement at all. Tried bouncing the wheels a bit and tried levering the adjuster bolts (gently as there's not much to get hold of) Nothing. It feels/looks like there should still be movement in the adjusters, so are the beams/leaves likely to be shot in some way? What would be my best solution from here? Should I get strong expensive coil overs that can hold the weight of the bus some? Should I get short coil overs or shocks that I can adjust to fit with the bas at it's very low ride as it sits on the suspension now? Should I get the beam sorted? I just want to get back on the road, with a fairly comfy ride, not to worried about being super low, and for as little cash as poss. Any advice more than welcome. [/QUOTE]
