The risk
The nuts on the spring clamps may be insufficiently hardened. This may lead to a loss of pre-tension force in the screw connection and subsequent breaking of the spring clamps. In the event of the spring clamp breaking, the axle would no longer be safely lifted. The resulting unstable driving behaviour of the vehicle poses the risk of an accident.
