CHECKING COMPONENTS

ROD
Ensure that the sliding surface shows no signs of
scoring and/or scratches. Very slight scoring can be
removed by rubbing the surface with wet sandpaper
(grain 1).
WARNING
A bent rod must NEVER be straightened because
its structure would be weakened, making the
vehicle unsafe.
SHEATH
Check that the sheath is not damaged and/or cracked,
otherwise replace it.
Check the condition of the following components:
- sliding bushing (1)
- cup (2)
- plunger (3)
Replace any components that show signs of wear or
damage.
