Abstract

A suspension height adjustment mechanism 10 comprises a main body 15, a rotatable assembly 20 which is rotatably mounted to the main body 15 and having a first threaded portion 62, a tool engagement portion 25 for rotating the rotatable assembly 20, a spring support 30 which has a second threaded portion 84 engaging the first threaded portion 62, an anti-rotation means 35 on the spring support 30 adapted to cooperate with a corresponding anti-rotation means 40 on the main body 15 to prevent rotation of the spring support 30 with respect to the main body 15, such that, in use, rotation of the tool engagement portion 25 causes the spring support 30 to axially translate along the rotatable assembly 20, thus adjusting the height of the suspension. This disclosure also relates to a vehicle suspension system comprising the suspension height adjustment mechanism and to a vehicle comprising the vehicle suspension system.
