MAINTENANCE ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE 70
9.6Front shock absorber - adjusting the cross over
Danger
Danger of accidents The shock absorber is under high pressure.
– The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen, so never dismantle the shock absorber or carry out any mainte-
nance on it yourself.
Info
The cross over setting is used to adjust the suspension travel of the short (soft) spring.
Greater cross over makes the spring action at the front softer and the front of the vehicle lies lower. The suspension travel and the
progressive part of the long (hard) spring is not fully utilized.
Less cross over makes the spring action at the front harder and the front of the vehicle lies higher.
– Jack up the vehicle. ( p. 66)
– Clean the shock absorber thoroughly.
