it kinda does. its supposed to be 3-4 clicks. mine was about 9 clicks
before i adjusted it. if it gets to be too high up, eventually itll hit
the limit of travel and not hold properly. best to keep it on the tight
side.

it also meant my passenger side rear wasnt adjusting right. gonna have
to keep an eye on that.
