FAQ

What exactly is the task / function of the component?
The housing or mounting part holds adjacent components, protects them and keeps their position in relation to each other dimensionally stable. It therefore determines the fit, rigidity and often also the tightness of the assembly.

How do you recognize a defect / typical symptoms?
Typical damage includes cracks, broken fixing points, distortion, worn seats or corrosion on sealing and bearing surfaces. Even slight deviations in shape can lead to misalignment, vibrations or leakage.

How do you check / test the component?
Fastening eyes, threads, flatness, bearing or seal seats and general dimensional accuracy are checked. In addition, attention should be paid to traces of contact, distortion and any hairline cracks around highly stressed areas.

When should it be replaced?
The part should be replaced in the event of structural damage, stripped threads, warped sealing surfaces or worn functional seats. Minor cosmetic damage is not critical, but functional surfaces are not.

How do you check compatibility?
The OEM number, casting or component version, mounting pattern, connection positions, sealing surface contour and existing inserts or bushes are important. Clearance to neighboring components must also be checked.
