Risk of injury

When installing and removing tight transverse control arm mounts, the rubber mounts can be put under extremely high tension. If one of the mounts is released suddenly it can shoot out of the installation bore hitting and injuring anyone in the immediate area.

Safety precautions/instructions

When pressing parts in and out ensure that no one is in the immediate vicinity and therefore in the hazard area except for the person performing the work.
Also secure the pressing point (hazard area) with a suitable catch device (basket, grate box).
When pressing out loosen mount by tapping a number of times with a hammer. Press out in a number of intervals relieving the pressure in between.
