CHECKING THE COMPONENTS

WHEEL-HOLDER TUBE
Check the sliding surface, which must be neither lined, nor
scratched.
Slight lines can be eliminated by sanding the surface with
wet sandpaper (grain 1).
If the lines are deep, change the tube.
Use a comparator to make sure that any of the tube's curv-
ing is lower than the limit value.
If it exceeds the limit value, change the tube.
Curving limit: 0.0079 in (0.2 mm).
WARNING
NEVER straighten a curved tube, since its
structure would be weakened, thus making the
use of the vehicle quite dangerous.
SLIDER
Make sure that there are neither damages, nor cracks.
Otherwise, change it.
SPRING
Check the integrity of the spring, making sure that its length
does not exceed the limit value.
If the length does not correspond to the limit value, change
the spring.
Minimum length of the spring when not compressed:
11.181 in (284 mm).
Check the condition of the following components:
- slide bushing;
- guide bushing;
