4.1 Swivel joints, axle mountings, coupling
rod bearings and anti-roll bar rubber
mounting: inspecting for damage
– Check
boots -arrow- of upper swivel joints for leaks and dam‐
age.
– Check also suspension link mountings -arrow- for following
damage:
♦ Large cracks, perforating cracks or cuts in rubber material.
♦ Complete separation of rubber and metal parts.
♦ Large play between mounting and suspension link, which has
a considerably negative effect on the function of the mounting.
Note
♦
Superficial cracks and cuts as well as minor separations of the
rubber element from the metal part do not significantly affect
the operation of the elasto-kinematic mounting and do not
constitute a basis for a complaint.
♦
Damage to the thin rubber skin over cavities due to construc‐
tion is also permissible.
♦
Play between bearing and axle component is permissible as
long as there is no negative effect on the function of the bear‐
ing.
