I have a 2008 Kawasaki Mule 3010 Trans diesel and am trying to find/purchase a spanner wrench to adjust the rear adjustable shock absorbers. The rear shocks on my machine might be the same as the entire line of Mules. Can't find it on the Kawasaki.com site and the operator's manual says to take the Mule to an authorized Kawasaki dealer for adjustment. ???? The rear shocks look to me just like the rear shocks on earlier Japanese motorcycles and they provided a cheap but effective spanner wrench in the sparse factory on board tool kits on all of those bikes. It would be about 6 to 8 inches long and stamped out of plate stock.
I can't see going to the dealer every time I change a load in the dump bed! Totally unreasonable.

You should have one in the tool kit that came with it. Have you checked?
If you don't have the tool kit ask one of your 4 wheeler friends. My Polaris came with a spanner wrench in the tool kit. Adjusting the shocks was the first thing I did when I got it home.

George, unless it's hidden REALLY good, no tool kit came with the mule and I bought it new and there is no mention of a tool kit in the operator's manual. Sad to say, I (we) have no 4 wheeler friends.

Mule owners: If you bought a new diesel or gas 2010, 3010, 610, 4010 etc., etc., (sorry for not knowing all of the Mule models) did it come with a factory supplied tool kit? Did it come with a spanner wrench for the adjustable rear shocks?

get a big flathead screw driver and a maul and that should do it . thats how i adjust mine on my rhino and my old hpx when had it. why pay for something you won't hardly use.

You could stop at any ATV or motorcycle dealer and borrow or buy a spanner wrench. I'm sure the shocks are mostly the same and would use the same wrench. If your handy you could make your own from a piece of 1/4" steel. Pretty easy to do.
I haven't checked but maybe NAPA or Advance Auto might sell them too.
