Chassis. Oil Leaks from Front Pivots. It has been pointed out by one or two customers that when oiling the front pivots any excess oil which exudes from the top part of the bottom bearing drips on to the tyres. They have suggested that in cases of excess oiling this oil should at least drain clear of the tyres. Possibly you may be able to consider this point in future investigation work in any new design in this respect. EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
