Does the adjuster for the preload supposed to be easy to adjust? I'm not feeling a lot of torque at the adjuster, it kinda just slides. I went from a 3 to 4 and I feel more bumps now, dont know if its placebo or not.

It would help if we knew which model shock it was.
Compression and rebound are usually adjustable easily. By turning a knob or screw. Preload takes a little more. As that is done by screwing a large collar to "lengthen" the shock. So to speak.
On mine it takes 4-5 "clicks" before any adjustment is truly felt. One or two is splitting hairs. Penske 8975.

I dont really feel a click, more like bumps. it feels almost like its loose but it's not when I tighten it.
My 1100 came with a Progressive rear, but the only thing I've adjusted on it is the ride height, to compensate for my greater weight than the previous owner, which restored the steering response.
On the top of the shock is the preload collar and lock nut. You have to loosen the lock nut then either loosen or tighten the collar depending upon how you want to change the spring preload.
On the bottom of the shock is the rebound adjuster. 5 positions I believe. Turn it clockwise only.
