 FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY
Spring – Damper set 31
DESCRIPTION
The front suspension is by means of push rod (2)
and single damper (1).
The compression and rebound can be adjusted. It
contains:
 rebound regulator (3),
 nitrogen reservoir (5) equipped with a
screw (4), which makes it possible to
measure the pressure and drain the
reservoir.
 compression regulator (6).

ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT: Do not touch screw (7).

Compression
- Turn knurled knob until it abuts in the clockwise
direction = hard compression.
- Turn knurled knob until it abuts in the counter
clockwise direction (24 clicks) = flexible
compression.
NOTA: It is possible that there will be more than 24
clicks when turning the knurled knob in this
direction. After 24 clicks, there is no change in the
setting.

Rebound
- Turn regulator until it abuts in the clockwise
direction = hard rebound.
- Turn regulator until it abuts in the counter
clockwise direction (24 clicks) = flexible rebound.
NOTA: If the regulator notches are not accessible,
slightly turn end fitting to bring them opposite the
window. Make sure that dimension between middle
of the two ball joints is 320mm.

Presentation 32
OVERVIEW
Each side of the rear axle assembly contains:
 top Suspension wishbone (4),
 bottom Suspension wishbone (5),
 push-rod (1),
 damper (2),
 ON/OFF switch (3), which houses the
head of the damper and the push rod and
antiroll bar arms.

The top Suspension wishbone bears the mark

FRONT (1) on the longest arm. This mark should be
placed towards the front of the car.

To improve the reliability of the Formula Renault

2.0, the rear lower wishbones have been modified
by the addition of reinforcement (see drawing).

Since 2005, only the reinforced wishbones are

allowed.

The antiroll bar (1) is available in three diameters:

 REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY
Adjustment 32
CHASSIS HEIGHT
The height of the rear of the chassis is adjusted by
means of the push-rod arm.
One turn of the arm screw (1) varies the height of the
chassis by 6.13mm.
An increase of 6.13mm in height varies the angles of
the rear axle assembly by the following values:
 camber: - 0.228°,
 caster: - 0.115°,
 alignment: 0.019° (toe),

ALIGNMENT
The Alignment is adjusted using shims (1) inserted
on the behind arm of the inferior triangle.
A shim thickness of 0.5mm varies the Alignment by
0.189°.
This adjustment increases the opening and raises the
height of the chassis by 0.137mm.
Three thickness of shim are available:
 0,3mm Ref : FR01_10_10A,
 0,5mm Ref : FR01_10_10B,
 1mm Ref : FR01_10_10C,

CAMBER
The camber is adjusted by means of shims (1)
inserted on the hub carrier.
One 2mm shim thickness varies the camber by 0.5°.
Observe the positioning of shims in order to prevent
friction with the rim.
Two thickness of shim are available:
 1mm Ref. : FR01_11_14A,
 2mm Ref.: FR01_11_14B,

During the tightening of the rear hub, the retainers (outer and inner rear hubs) can come in contact. As a
consequence, the preload of the bearing is not correctly achieved. This might create a mark on the shoulder of the

- Drive back pistons with suitable clamps so as not
to change geometry or leave chips likely to nick
seals.
- Do not tighten bleed screw (1) to too high of a
torque so as not to damage the tapered bearing
surface (risk of leaks).
- Systematically replace damaged hydraulic lines.
- Observe torque of carrier screw (5): risk of
deforming calliper.

Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Take the necessary precautions
so that no chemical products contaminate the
