- Wheel Alignment: After installation and ride height adjustment, a professional wheel alignment is essential to maintain proper tire wear and handling characteristics.
Care:
- Regularly inspect coilovers for signs of damage, leaks, or corrosion.
- Clean the coilovers periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt and road salt, especially in winter climates.
