d) Setting the Shock Absorbers
Front axle
Rear axle
The spring-pre-tension at the upper end of the shock absorber (A) can be adjusted by inserting plastics clips.
The shock absorbers at the vehicle‘s front and rear vehicle axles can be mounted in different positions lower trans-
verse 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. Installation of shock absorbers that can be adjusted with a knurled wheel is
possible as well.
e) Mechanical Lowering
For lowering the chassis, it is also possible to reduce the re-
bound clearance mechanically. There is a small adjustable grub
screw in each of the 4 transverse links; see arrow in the figure
on the right.
When the grub screw is turned in further, the transverse link can-
not extend as far anymore; this lowers the chassis.
