f) Adjusting the shock absorbers
Front axle
Rear axle
At the upper end of the shock absorber (A), the spring preload can be adjusted by inserting plastic clips.
The shock absorbers on the front and rear axle can be mounted in different positions above the shock absorber bridge
(B) and on the bottom suspension arm (C).
Always ensure that the shock absorbers on each axle are level (i.e. on the left and right wheel of the front or rear axle),
otherwise the vehicle may not respond correctly.
Professional drivers can also use springs with a different hardness grade or fill the shock absorbers with a shock
absorber oil of a different viscosity. The installation of aluminium shock absorbers, which are adjustable by knurling,
is possible.
As is the case with full-size vehicles, the shock absorbers (and the rubber seals in the shock absorbers) are wear-
able parts. If oil leaks from the shock absorbers (e.g. the suspension arm is coated in oil, or there is dripping oil), the
gaskets or shock absorbers must be replaced.
