Notes about adjustment work on the spring struts
The spring strut has a thread and a height adjusting nut −2− for height adjustment. The height
•
adjusting nut −2− is secured against turning by the lock nut −1− .
The stabilizer block −4− (mounting saddle for the stabilizer mount) is also fitted on the thread. The
•
stabilizer block −4− can be vertically adjusted and it is provided with a lock nut −3− .
• This adustment possibility is only useful for racing. It can be used to ensure that enough clearance is
available for the stabilizer mount even for deviating vehicle heights (only for racing) and also that the
stabilizer mount can be fitted free of tension.
The stabilizer block −4− does not need to be adjusted for the vehicle height prescribed for street use.
•
The stabilizer block −4− , dimension B is also set with replacement dampers.

A Pre−setting dimension for production (289 mm). The dimension may be different with the prescribed
vehicle height. If the damper is replaced, the actual dimension must be transferred to the new damper.
