bends, the steering reacts more directly and steering forces are reduced. At the same time, the wheel is pushed onto

the axle spur in the direction of the axle. This reduces axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.

Setting Front Axle Camber:

The "pivot ball" suspension at the front axis comprises of a

speciallyshapedaxisleg,twoball-headscrews(AandB)

andtwoouterplasticgrubscrews(C).

Theplasticgrubscrews(C)canbetightenedorloosened

withaslightlylarger5mmhexagonwrench(E).However,

they only serve to fasten the axis stub to the ball-head

screws(A)and(B).

Nevertightentheplasticgrubscrews(C)byforce.Other-

wise, the wheel suspension cannot move freely. The plas-

or the axis stub will wobble.
