- A cracked or broken spring hanger that could allow the axle to shift out of its proper alignmentCevap
- CA shock absorber body showing slight oil misting on the outer casing without active dripping
- DRubber torque arm bushings displaying minor superficial hairline weathering along the external lip
Cevap
A cracked or broken spring hanger that could allow the axle to shift out of its proper alignment is a critical defect requiring the vehicle to be placed out of service immediately.
Spring hangers hold the spring assembly firmly to the vehicle chassis. A cracked, fractured, or loose spring hanger permits the axle to shift out of alignment, creating severe handling hazards and an immediate out-of-service condition under commercial vehicle safety standards.
