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.
