I am no expert but I would imagine the lower 'spigot ring', for want of a better word, is probably a locking 'device' and the top one you then raise/lower to raise or lower the car...That's an educated guess for the record!! :smiley:

Yeah, to go lower go down, to raise go up  :grin:

Then when you are at the right height, tighten the lower one up against the bigger one so it is tight. Tighten them against eachother if that makes sense..

Thought as much. So in theory loosen bottom one turn top one clockwise? Then re tighten bottom one?
