Hazard

In the lower arm (toe control link) sleeve of the rear suspension system, improper welding during steel tube material forming results in insufficient weld strength in some units. Continued use in this condition may cause weld fracture, allowing the lower arm and bush to separate, potentially compromising driving stability during steering or braking operations at high speed.
