Check list for evaluating the suspension<br />

of accident vehicles<br />

00 - 2<br />

When repairing load-bearing or wheel-supporting<br />

components on accident vehicles, damages to the chassis<br />

could remain undiscovered. These undiscovered damages<br />

can sometimes lead to heavy damages, in continued<br />

vehicle operation. Therefore, on accident vehicles, the<br />

listed components are to be inspected in the described<br />

manner and sequence, independent of performing a vehicle<br />

alignment. If no deviations from the specified values were<br />

determined during a vehicle alignment, then no<br />

deformations of the chassis are present.<br />

Visual and function testing of the steering system<br />

• Visually inspect for deformations and splits<br />

• Check for play in tie rod joints and steering gear<br />

• Visually inspect for defects in dust and grease boots<br />

• Inspect electrical and hydraulic lines/hoses for<br />

abrasions, cuts and kinked areas<br />

• Verify that hydraulic lines, connections and steering<br />

gear are not leaking<br />

• Check steering gear and lines for proper and secure<br />

seating<br />

• Check the problem-free movement of steering wheel<br />

from lock to lock, by turning the steering wheel<br />

completely in each direction. Thereby, the rotation of<br />

the steering wheel must require steady force without<br />

catching<br />

Visual and function testing of the suspension<br />

• The sequence of the following test procedures must<br />

be maintained!<br />

• Check all components displayed in the assembly<br />

overview for deformation, splits and other damages<br />

• Replace damaged components<br />

• Align vehicle on a VOLKSWAGEN AG approved<br />

alignment stand<br />
