Tie Rod: Testing and Inspection
Track rod joints: Check the play and dust bellows
NOTE:
-
The rubber dust bellows and bellows on the steering gear and on the tie rods can be damaged by external influences, e.g. stone impact, or during
assembly work!
-
If a rubber dust bellows leaks, the joint or the tie rod must be replaced, because dirt or moisture entering will destroy the joint!
1. Check the play and dust bellows.
2. Check the function of the dust bellows, bellows and joints and ensure that they are free of leaks.
