Ok to fully detweak
1.Loosen the top deck screws
2.Loosen the 8 screws holding the 2 front and 2 rear upper clamps with the roll centres
3.Undo the shocks from their lower joints.
4.Take off the front bumper and remove the 2 rear bodyshell holders
5.Loosen all the screws on the bottom of the chassis
6.Remove the aerial tube from the holder and lay flat
7.Turn the car upside down and lay on your setup board. Starting at the front or the rear, tighten the chassis screws, moving from front to rear or vice versa. As you do this, with your “spare hand” press down on the centre of the chassis; not too hard but enough to create a pressure on the chassis.
8.Turn the car over and tighten all the screws you loosened, starting at the same end that you tightened the chassis screws. As you tighten the top deck screws push down on the front and rear suspension holders. Easier with two people but on your own I put hand on one suspension holder and my arm on the other one.
9.Set your downstops. I always then use the method in my previous post of sliding in the ride height gauge to ensure the two wheels on the axle are leaving the ground at the same time. If they are not then something is wrong.
10.Check and make sure your 2 shocks on an axle are symmetrical in measurement
oGap between the lower shock ball joint and the end of the threaded part of the shock rod is the same (the manual recommends 1mm)
oPreferably using a vernier gauge, the lengths of the shocks, compressed and extended, are the same
oThe measurement from the top of the shock adjuster nut and the bottom of the lower shock cap should be the same.
11.Fit your shocks; loosen your roll bars; place on setup station and check tweak (should be fine
)
12.Adjust your ride height to desired setting. Recheck tweak on setup board
13.Tighten roll bars and recheck tweak
