The Koni 4/3 package from strano you twist the rears to adjust. On yours you adjust the same way as the front shocks

thanks for the reply...however i was not asking how to adjust them. theres a **** supplied with the rears that you place on the top and turn for adjustments. the right rear with not turn...so for those of you who have 4/4s, have any of yall had this problem and overcame it before dealing with tech support?

If they've sat for a bit they can get sticky.
Try shooting some WD-40 in the adjuster to loosen it up, the same can be done for the fronts
