Adjusting Bilstein Shocks
I have the Bilstein B12 pro kit which I believe is the Bilstein b8 struts and shocks. Does anyone know how to adjust these as they never said how to in the instructions. Also there's nothing on Bilstein website.
There is a hex screw and locking nut on the bottom, but it's hard to tell if your making it harder or softer.

I believe they have an internal self adjusting system. They are a mono-tube design that resists shock fade in higher heat conditions. I have Bilsteins on my DD Town Car and my 5.0 and have been very satisfied. They work very well here in AZ in curvy mountain and desert driving.

There is a place in the top of the shock for a hex wrench to hold the shock shaft from turning when tightening the mounting nut. I'm not familiar with any bottom nut.
