2.2 One-sided weight distribution

Under no circumstances should

permissible overall weight
permissible front axle load
permissible rear axle load be exceeded.

When drawing up plans for custom body parts/conversions, ensure that one-sided weight distribution is avoided, in particular with permanently fitted custom body parts. If this cannot be avoided, the one-sided load should not result in a greater difference between the wheel pairs of max. 8%.

Warning:

Observe tyre load capability!

Example:

Perm. axle load	2.000 kg
Theor. wheel load, left/right	1.000/1.000 kg
4% of this wheel load	40 kg
Perm. wheel load distr.	1.040 kg/960 kg

Note: Subject to errors and technical amendments. The electronic version of the body guidelines is the decisive source of up-to-date data on body guidelines.
