Information
- The rubber dust bellows and tie rods can be damaged by external influences, e.g. stone impact, or during assembly work.
- If a rubber dust boot leaks, the joint or tie rod must be replaced, because any dirt or moisture that seeps in will destroy the joint.
- Check joint clearance and dust boots.
- Check that the dust boots and joints are working perfectly and have no leaks.
