My front AGX's are set on "1" but feel like they are on "4"

[dr-rjp]

Recently, my car has felt as if my adjustable front AGX's were set on the maximum instead of on the mininum. I know that they tend to soften up inwarmer weather, but I have not noticed a difference from when it was cold last week and warm this week.

Are the AGX's to blame, or might it be something else?

Don't want to sound like an ***...but could the number sticker be wrong? I mean, try going one more click to 2 and see if the shocks soften up. Did you do your own install? If not, check under there and see that the install was done correctly with new bumpstops and boots and all that non-sense looks good. Also, do you have any front suspension mods? I have my AGX's on 2 and when I added my front tie bar, things got stiffer, and then when i added the subframe bracing things got even stiffer. So even though I'm running 2, it feels a lot harder now. I think if I set my shocks to 4 at this point..my butt would vibrate off.

I had a mechanic install them, and then another one to fix what the first mechanic did wrong. That's not th issue, however.

Both struts and shocks have been set on "1" virtually the entire time I've had them. When the car ride started feeling harsh, they were the first things I checked. I tried setting them on higher numbers, and they got correspondingly more stiff. Even though the decal is about 60% worn down, there are bits of color left on each front setting. The rears have big dials and numbers on them, besides having eight settings, and its easy to see if they are not set right.

Over time, the AGX's softened up from how they originally were, so if anything, I'd expect them to get softer and not harder as time went by.

The kicker, however, is that everything changed after the flat on my right front tire. That tire is now in the back where if it had issues with the rim or the tire itself, it would be less noticable than if it were on the front.

I need to have my LCA's, tie rods, sway bar bushings, and anything else that keeps the car from riding smoothly. I had the bushings changed in all of them with Energy Suspension ones about a year ago. It's possible that something got damaged after I rode on the flat for a few hundred feet.

however, the front end is not pulling at all. Turns are made without any rubbing sound. It's really bizarr.e

sounds like its time for some new struts. i would highly recommend tokico over KYB.

Right on. KYB also make sh***y strut mounts too
