Count the threads that are showing. Then screw till there's less if your going the wrong way there will be more threads showing.

Not being funny, but twist it one way and see which direction the adjuster moves....if it moves down then you're lowering the car, if it moves up then you're raising it.

They were a b!tch to wind down, so wasn't as easy to tell what way I was going, Just couldn't think straight earlier, one of those days  :undecided:
