Preload refers to the initial tension applied to the suspension components of a vehicle, particularly in relation to rear axle adjustments. It affects the ride height and handling characteristics by compressing the springs or adjusting the shocks before the vehicle is loaded. Proper preload ensures optimal contact between the tires and the road, enhancing stability and performance. Adjusting the preload can help fine-tune the vehicle's suspension to accommodate different driving conditions or loads.
A rear axle adjustment is also known as a rear axle alignment. The perimeter chassis of the car needs to be measured before a rear alignment is performed.
To break it in and also to test and be sure that it can withstand a load.

Preload is the amount the pinion bearings are squeezed together by the pinion nut.

To adjust the rear shocks on a 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic, locate the preload adjuster on the shock absorber. Use a spanner wrench or a suitable tool to turn the adjuster clockwise to increase preload for a stiffer ride or counterclockwise to decrease preload for a softer ride. Make adjustments incrementally, testing the ride after each change to find the desired comfort and handling. Always ensure that both shocks are adjusted evenly for balanced performance.
