Checking the tips of steering drafts and seals

Raise the vehicle so that the front wheels were hung. Tips of steering drafts are mounted in sockets levers left and right body axis. From moisture and dust caps are protected by rubber seals (covers). Check out the tips and seals for cracks and damage and ensure the reliability of their landing.

Rock the wheel and check the backlash in the tips of rods. Make sure the tips are securely attached to the receptacle arm.

The damaged mud and cover the tip having a backlash, must be replaced.
