At the upper end of the shock absorber (A), the spring preload can be adjusted by inserting plastic clips.

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.
