Description (français)

Sous l'effet de la corrosion due au sel de l'axe du bras de direction, la manoeuvre de la direction peut devenir progressivement plus difficile et le retour du volant peut se faire plus lentement. L'effort de plus en plus grand qu'il faut exercer finit par provoquer la rupture de l'axe du bras de direction. Cela peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise du véhicule et un accident est alors possible.
