Preload is on the top of the fork, its a 14mm or 19mm or something like that depending on what year forks you have, there are little lines on that adjuster that will go into the forks when you tighten them

Rebound is the top clicker that you adjust with a flathead screw driver

Compression is the bottom clicker all the way down by the axle

Tighten up the Preload on the spring a little bit, slow the rebound down a little (2 or so clicks to the right, like you are tightening something), and maybe stillen up the comp a little.

this is all assuming that your forks are in good working order, if all your fluid leaked out or something like that they will obviously bottom easy and will need to be serviced before adjusting.

hope that helps
