CROSS rear cable adjuster

Im looking for cable adjuster for the rear dampening on my CROSS coilover... i guess CROSS doesnt include them in anymore....

Before I contact the company, anyone out there not willing to use it? Donate or sell it to me?

I hear ya, I paid 100 bucks for the pair. Maybe you could get lucky and find someone on here willing to part with a set.

Hi,
if you do not have the cable adjusters..... how difficult is it to adjust the coils?

Do you need to remove the interior panel to get to the top of the coilover?

The adjuster movement is subtle but you can feel the clicks if you pay attention. Also because the shock will move under suspension travel, so you must make sure the hole drilled for adjuster is big enough to accommodate the entire movement. From my own experience, when we did the test drive after installation, everything was fine. But after I took the to HPDE, the adjuster was bend and would not turn. It would be wise to add some tolerance to the hole for extreme conditions. The hole we end up cutting was about 2.5"(front to rear) and 2" (side to side).

Good luck.

With out the adjuster you can't adjust the dampening for rear. The only way you would adjust the rear without adjuster installed is to remove the coilover. Once the adjuster is installed, you could access them from the access panel from the sides of the boot.

there are good quality Cables & adjusters available in some sites but you have to ensure if it is really the part that you need. also study how to install them properly to prevent issues.

Try getting in touch with BC instead. Probably a cheaper option for something that does the same function. I hated my Cross/JIC Adjusters. The set screws weren't that great and there was a lot of twist in the adjuster before it finally clicked to the next setting - sometimes causing it to go multiple clicks instead of just one.
