Hello, diesel mechanics.

I had a Koni adjustable coilover suspension installed in my Golf 2 CL (back when the currency was the Deutsche Mark). However, I'm a bit unsure about the adjustment. On the front axle, the suspension can be adjusted with a threaded mechanism. How do I know that both sides are adjusted equally? Should I count the thread rotations? Should I measure something?
Sure, I'd be happy to help. Please provide the text you would like me to translate from German to English.
Olli.

The only way to do it correctly is with a scale, which is used to determine the individual wheel loads.
It should be possible to adjust these settings accordingly. When doing so, it is important to ensure that the vehicle is on a level and horizontal surface, and that the tires and tire pressure are the same on each axle.
