2.7. SUSPENSION

The suspension arms may be bent. Therefore, always check the tyres for wear. If any, wear should be even at both sides of the tyre. Suspension arm bearings are expensive and there are eight of them in one car. They should last forever, but if either sand or water has managed to reach the bearings, they will wear out in a very short time. So, check and make sure that the suspension moves supple and without a sound, worn out bearings cause a rattling sound while driving over rough and uneven terrain.

Spring canisters start to rust at the front caps. If these canisters make scratchy or squeaky noises, it means that they contain rust. This can be suppressed temporarily by applying a bit of oil. However, by far the best solution is to derust the canisters (they will have to be opened by grinding off the end plates) or to replace them with non-rusted ones.
