3.4 About vehicle body incline

• When mounting the rear body onto the chassis, take care to evenly balance weight on the left and right sides. If there is a difference in weight between the left and right sides, adjust by adding counterweights or spacers on the sub-frame.

Modification of axles suspension, including removal or replacement of individual spring leaves, is prohibited.

Also, use the chassis height adjustment shims (4.5mm {0.18in.} thickness) set on the front and rear springs.
