The risk
An anomaly in the tightening process may result in insufficient tightening of the ball joint nuts of the front lower control arm. This can cause abnormal clicking or knocking noises while driving, particularly during braking or turning. Over time, the connection between the wheel and the vehicle frame may loosen or be lost, which could cause the vehicle to veer off course and increase the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
