Abstract
A shock absorber adjuster assembly comprising at least one spring arranged so as, in use, to extend between a pair of spaced apart spring seats. At least one of the spring seats is adjustable and is formed by a cylindrical body, a first adjustable member and a second adjustable member. The body has a first thread formed on its outer surface and a second thread formed on its inner surface. The first adjustable member includes a first flange having a threaded inner surface which is engageable with the first thread of the body so that the first flange can be screwed along the first thread. The second adjustable member includes a second flange provided on an end of a shaft. The separation between the first and second flanges can thereby be adjusted by moving of either or both of said first and second flanges.

An adjustable spring seat fora shock absorber comprising:
- a cylindrical body having an end and a first thread formed on its outer surface and a second thread formed on its inner surface;
- a first adjustable member including a first flange having a threaded inner surface which is engageable with the first thread of the cylindrical body so that the first flange can be screwed along the first thread so as to adjust a longitudinal position of the first flange on the cylindrical body;
- and
- a second adjustable member including a shaft having an end and a second flange disposed on the end of the shaft, the shaft further having an outside surface and a thread formed on said outside surface complementary to the second thread of the cylindrical body, wherein the shaft is engageable with the second thread through the end of the cylindrical body and can be screwed along the second thread so as to adjust a longitudinal space between the second flange and the end of the cylindrical body,
- wherein said first and second flanges being moveable independently of each other, whereby the separation between the first and second flanges can be adjusted by moving of either or both of said first and second flanges.
