Anyone with KYB AGX --> READ THIS

Hey, I was told that the adjustment knobs on the Rear KYB AGX shocks seize up after time??? (since it is plastic and exposed to all of the elements of mother nature)

Has this happened to anyone??? I live in Canada, so I do have some cold and wet winters (no I don't live in an Igloo!!!) Is there any preventative measures?

haven't heard this......once you find a setting you like you won't wanna change em anyways. I'm sure turning the knob 2-3 times a month will keep it from getting stuck.

Spray some WD40 occasionally.

I haven't heard about the adjusters seizing.

I've only had them on since March, so I personally haven't had any problems.

They key to their longevity is to be an impatient bastard who has to change the setting every few weeks or so.

I set my fronts to 3 and rears to 3 and I actually like this balance. Not too stiff, much less roll. For some reason, setting the rear to 4 and higher makes for a really stiff ride. The fronts have less of an impact.
