-
Check joint piece, ball hub, ball cage and balls for small broken off depressions (pitting build-up) and chafing.
‹› Excessive circumferential backlash in joint makes itself noticed via tip-in shock. Joint must be replaced in such cases. Flattening and running
marks of balls are no reason to replace joint.
Assembling
-
Insert ball hub into ball cage via two chamfers. The installation position is at random. Press balls into cage.
-
Insert hub with cage and balls upright into joint piece.
‹› When inserting, make sure that in each case the wide gap - a - at joint piece contacts narrow gap - b - at hub after swinging in.
