Adjustment operations on the spring struts

The front and rear axle 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-  . Refer to Fig 1 and Fig 2 . The stabilizer block (mounting saddle for the stabilizer mount) -4-  is also fitted on the thread. The stabilizer block can be vertically adjusted and it is provided with a lock nut -3-  . Refer to Fig 1 and Fig 2 . This adjustment 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 is also adjusted for replacement dampers.
