I see that the seam of the axle boots are put straight upwards at 12 hrs... In the manual it is written to put the seam at 9 or 3 hrs. WHY? it is much easier to bend the seam as to press it in and stretch it when the axle moves only up and down... THe oil will not leak as that tube is not full of oil. Just to inform you. |

Hi Peter,
as the axle travels up and down the seam has to be at 3 or 9 o`clock. Otherwise the seam is pushed or strechted which can suffer it.
But there are many out there who drive around with 12 o`clock position without big problems...
Greetz, Felix |
