L1 = 142,5 mm L1 = 132,5 mm L2 = 52 mm L2 = 62 mm
(*) = CRD: Difficult road conditions.
Definition for a type of vehicle whose axles and suspensions are adapted for driving on rough roads.
Compress the suspension to obtain the calculated values. The height difference between the two axle dimensions should be less than
10 mm.
