c) Adjusting the shock absorbers
Front axle Rear axle
At the upper end of the shock absorber, the spring tension can be adjusted by turning the knurled wheel (A).
The shock absorbers on the front and rear axles of the vehicle can be mounted in different positions on the lower
transversecontrolarm(C).Themanufacturerhaspreconguredanoptimalposition,thereforechangesshouldonly
be made by professional drivers.
Always ensure that the shock absorbers on each axle are level (i.e. on the left and right wheel of the front or rear axle),
otherwise the vehicle may not respond correctly.

absorber oil of a different viscosity.
As is the case with full-size vehicles, the shock absorbers (and the rubber seals in the shock absorbers) are wear-
able parts. If oil leaks from the shock absorbers (e.g. the suspension arm is coated in oil, or there is dripping oil), the
gaskets or shock absorbers must be replaced.
