The spring-pre-tension at the upper end of the shock absorber can be adjusted by turning a knurled screw (A).
The shock absorbers at the vehicle's front and rear vehicle axles can be mounted in different positions at the lower
transverse link (C) and at the top of the damper bridge (B). The manufacturer has, however, already chosen the best
position; therefore, only professional drivers should change these.
Always set the shock absorbers for one axle evenly (at the left and right wheels of the front or rear axle). Otherwise,
driving behaviour will be influenced negatively.
Professional drivers may also use springs with a different stiffness or damper oil of a different viscosity for filling the
shock absorbers.
Just as with a "real" car, the shock absorbers (or the rubber seals in them) on the model car are a wearing part. If oil
is running from the shock absorbers (e.g. transverse link strongly oiled, dripping traces), the seals or shock absorbers
must be replaced.
