DJUSTING THE SHOCK ABSORBER
Compared to the standard version, the front and rear shock absorbers have each seven further fixing points at the damper
plates above and one further fixing point at the lower transverse link.
By adjusting the shock absorbers you can achieve a change in the response behavior of the suspension by modifying
the angle of attack, besides achieving a higher/lower setting of the chassis.
Adjusting the front shock absorbers
- Adjusting the upper transverse control arms to a
steepest angle of attack reduces the progressivity.
������������
The vertical relative movement of the chassis is directly
guided into the suspension, the damper effect is instant,
the suspension is already harder following a small
deflection. At the same time, the vehicle is raised.
- Adjusting the shock absorber to a flatter angel of attack
increases the progressivity. In the case of a flatter angle
of attack, the chassis must have a deeper spring
deflection in order for the suspension to react; i.e. the
suspension reacts softly at first and then becomes
increasingly harder.
The position of the vehicle is lowered.
Adjusting the rear shock absorbers
The effects of the damping correspond to the above description
Preload and attachment points of the shock absorbers of an axle must be adjusted identically right and left!

ETTING THE CAMBER INCLINATION
The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).
Negative camber (wheel top edges point inward) on the front wheels increases the cornering power
of the wheels when
driving in bends; the steering reacts more directly, the steering forces are reduced. At the same time,
the wheel is pushed onto the axle leg in the direction of the axis.
Negative camber
This stops an axial bearing clearance, the driving behavior is calmer.
A negative inclination on the rear wheels reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swerve in
bends.
�������������
By setting a negative inclination, the wear on the inside of the tires increases. However, this effect
can be compensated by setting a toe-in.
Positive camber
Adjusting the inclination in positive direction until a positive inclination (wheel top edges point out-
ward) reduces the cornering power of the wheels.
���������������
Adjusting the inclination at the front and rear wheels
The camber can be modified by adjusting the upper transverse control arms respectively in three attachment points (rear
transverse control arm) at the shock absorber brackets.
Furthermore, right/ left threaded rods with spanner flat (5mm) to fine tune the inclination of the camber are located respec-
���������������
tively in the upper transverse control arms.

The power is directly indu-
ced in parallel to the direc-
tion of deflection (=stee-
pest angle of attack, 90°) of
the wheel, and the shock
absorber serves its maxi-
mum use.
Vertically to the direction
of deflection of the wheel
(=flattest angle of attack 0°),
no power is induced and
the shock absorber has no
effect.
