Our craftsmen guessed that they would burn out the old and put in the new. Brilliant! But no. Fifteen years ago such a “joke” could have passed, but today it no longer exists. And the reason for this is the material from which the suspension is made.
For now, until 2007-2008, everyone was using metal that could be burned, beaten, or stabbed, and nothing terrible happened. With him the trick “burned-put-a new one” succeeds and the part will disappear. But after the world went by the embossing scheme, aluminum became the main suspension material. “Winged metal” will not allow such impudence, and the silent block installed in the lever simply falls out after a few hundred kilometers. Do masters know about it? Of course they know – they’ve tried more than once, the result is the same.
But on the other hand, it is damned difficult to refuse the owner of, say, a Mercedes-Benz, who is offered to buy a pair of new levers for 40,000 – 50,000 rubles – what I read on the forums about the possibilities of suppression. Since the owner is willing to take responsibility, has brought the parts and is paying for the work, why not take it? And the fact that after a hundred or two kilometers the suspension starts to “click” again, giving loud blows to the steering wheel, is the problem of tomorrow.
