4.Because
of
the
14"
offset
of
upper
spring
plate
to mounting
eye
(of
control
arm)
when
the
strut
is
installed,
it
may be
necessary
to
determine
the
position
of
the
lower
spring
plate
as follows
when
the
strut
is
assembled:
Mount
upper
spring
plate
on car.
With
lower
spring
plate
and coil
spring
at
damper
installation
position,
set
damper
on lower
control
arm.
Move end of
coil
spring
to
upper
spring
plate
stop.
Turn
lower
spring
plate
until
the
spring
touches
the
lower
stop
as well.
Mark
position
of
lower
spring
olate
to
damoer.
Assemble
struts
as marked.
N ote:
Adjustable
spring
struts
can
also
be brought
to
their
installation
positions
by turning
the
adjuster
nut
(hold
strut
at
bottom).
Turn
nut
in
the
direction
which
allows
end of
spring
to
remain
against
spring-plate
stop.
If
a Klann
spring
tensioner
is
used
(no
vise
required)
the
strut
can
be brought
to
its
instal-
lation
position
with
the
spring
pre-tensioned.
Screw
self-locking
nut
onto
piston
rod
(risk
of
accident).
5.Adjust
height
setting
of
adjus-
table
spring
struts
as
neccessary.
Note:
Moving
the
adjuster
nut
(spring
pre-load)
through
5 mm adjusts
the
vertical
setting
by approx.
10 mm.
In
this
context,
note
the
following:
Any
one-sided
height
adjustment
also
changes
the
wheel
loadina.
When the
ioad
on any one wheel
is
changed
the
loads
on the
other
wheels
also
change.
If
no wheel-load
meter
is
available,
the
2 height
adjuster
nuts
on a common axle
should
be
changed
by the
same amount
to
keep
the
wheel-
load
difference
from
left
to
right
within
permissible
limits.
(Difference
from
left
to
right
per
axle,
max.
20 kg).
