Steering gear leakage - quantifying
|
Saab 9-3.
On steering gears replaced for leakage and returned to Saab it is hard
to determine the actual fault as the area of leakage has not been identified
on the failed part.
Assistance is needed in quantifying the different leakage sources so
we can use our resources in the most efficient way.
Please add some information when returning steering gears under warranty.
Either just identify the leakage spot according to the picture below
or cut out the picture , make a mark where the leakage was found and attach
it to the gear.
Main areas of potential leakage:
|
1.
|
Under the cover for the steering axle spindle.
