d) Setting the Shock Absorbers
Figure 12: Front axle
The spring-pre-tension at the upper end of the shock absorber can be adjusted by turning a knurled nut (A). Ensure
that the shock absorber body does not turn along and is turned from the shock absorber cap by this (oil loss threatens).
The shock absorbers at the vehicle's front and rear vehicle axles can be mounted in different positions lower transverse
link (C) and at the top of the 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.
Optional accessories (not included in the delivery; can be ordered separately) that can be used include
springs with a different stiffness or damper oil of a different viscosity for filling the shock absorbers.
e) Mechanical Lowering
For lowering the chassis, it is also possible to reduce
the rebound clearance mechanically. There is a small
adjustable grub screw in each of the 4 transverse
links; see circle (A) in the figure on the right.
When the grub screw is turned in further, the
transverse link cannot extend as far anymore; this
lowers the chassis.
