Thespring-pre-tensionattheupperendoftheshockabsorbercanbeadjustedbyinsertingplasticsclips(enclosed).
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inuencednegatively.
Professionaldriversmayalsousespringswithadifferentstiffnessordamperoilofadifferentviscosityforllingthe
shock absorbers. Installation of aluminium shock absorbers that can be adjusted with a knurled wheel is possible as
well.
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.
