Righty tighty....turned all the way to the left is soft. Turn to the right is stiff. Level 1-8 x-tra tight stiff. 9-16 Mountain roads. 17-32 street use. Megans start at setting 32 which is the softest. 0 would be the hardest.

GO full right until you can't go anymore and then start counting clicks backward for setting the dampening. DO NOT GO FULL LEFT HAPPY or you'll wreck it.

You risk loosening the mechanism inside of the strut that controls the dampening. You can go max tight because it stops but on the loosen direction you can keep on going 'til you destroy it. That's why you go FULL RIGHT until it stops then count backwards to where you want to be.
