Accidents With Deformation At The Front Axle Or Steering Gear Assembly
For safety reasons, the steering gear assembly must be replaced if components of the front axle or steering gear assembly are permanently deformed.
NOTE:
A shock transmitted to the steering gear through the front axle or steering linkage may have caused damage which not externally visible. A pressure test or crack test required for this is not possible in the workshops, therefore the steering gear is to be replaced in cases of doubt.
