Control Valve Adjustment (1972-73)
- Adjustment should be performed with full fuel tank. Raise curb-weight vehicle on platform hoist and support front and rear suspension. Detach link assembly from rear upper control arm.
- Manually operate lever until only residual pressure is left in air sleeve shocks. Loosen adjusting nut on valve assembly lever arm. Adjust lever arm such that link assembly will require 1/16" downward movement, on 1972 models, or 1/4" downward movement, on 1973 models, to enter hole in upper control arm.
- Retighten adjusting nut to 70-80 INCH lbs. Attach link to upper arm and perform System Functional Test, as previously described. Readjust plastic block, if necessary.
