Tendencies toward major problems?

[brad barton]

Question: To David Brady or anyone else who can tell me about adjusting the
shocks on a 43' LXI. Do you have to remove the wheels to get to the Koni
shocks to twist them tighter..or can you get to them without removing the
wheels. I'm assuming one part of the shock can be disconnected and twisted
to stiffen it up. We're going to try to adjust the front shocks first. Do
the wheels have to be pulled or not? And what part of the shock has be
twisted and how much?
