| G-AMG G-Class DIY Host Date registered: May 2006 Location: South Texas Vehicle(s): '04 G55, '80 280GE, '99 S420, '98 E320, 2011 E350  | Go/No-Go Gauge for Checking Supporting Joint In my quest for identifying an unknown noise Left Front Suspension Area, I checked out the Supporting Joint. After "Visually" checking for Damage the Rubber "Boot", you can use a prybar to wiggle the Joint. Specs say "1mm" of play is OK. You can also supplement your exam by using this Go/No-Go Gauge to see if the Joint is OK. If you can *COMPLETELY* Slide the Gauge onto the Joint, it must be changed. As you can see, my joint is OK... I *CAN'T* fit the Joint into the Gauge Opening. (IMG_9124.JPG) Attachments ----------------  IMG_9124.JPG (134KB - 0 downloads) | |
