Front shock absorber - adjusting the cross over
8.3
Info
The cross over setting is used to adjust the suspension travel of the short (soft) spring.
Greater cross over makes the suspension at the front softer and the front of the vehicle lies lower. The suspension travel and
the progressive part of the long (hard) spring are not fully utilized.
Less cross over makes the suspension at the front harder and the front of the vehicle lies higher.
