Racinbob 10,202 #6 Posted October 7, 2018 Nope, no adjustment. As been mentioned make sure your belt' is correct and in good shape, your pulleys are clean, the idler is good and the spring is correct and good. If you have a damper or strut on it personally I would remove it. Wheel Horses worked fine for decades with just the spring. Some models just used a strut and no spring but it's simply a matter of removing the strut and adding the spring. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
