3. Measure ride height front and back.
4. Jack car back up, and turn each front and rear pair side-to-side exactly the same amount, e.g. both fronts two turns, or both rears three turns, or whatever. Doesn't have to be the same front to back, but always the same side-to-side. Typically after step 1, the ride height will be too high and you have to loosen them.
5. Repeat 2, 3 and 4 until desired ride height is achieved. You'll want it to be 1/2-inch or so high at first on a new build because it will settle.
6. You may find when done that side-to-side isn't 100% exact. Within reason, it's OK. Don't adjust just one side or the other based on ride height measurement.

I’m just getting around to adjusting these collars on my MK4 go-cart. Is there a special tool that grabs these and was it included in the kit? Don’t wanna dig thru a bunch of boxes for no reason. I don’t remember seeing such a tool? Recommendations to purchase? Thx
