 Conventional rubber mounts are still very often submitted to the warranty center with fitter's findings "cracked". Therefore once again the correct evaluation criteria of the rubber mount:

 During the warranty investigation it has been found repeatedly that conventional torque strut rubber mounts are submitted with the fitter's findings "cracked". Though investigations on these mounts only showed a cracked rubber diaphragm which arises during the manufacture of the mount.

This rubber diaphragm (see picture) neither has an influence on the stability of the mount nor on the function and is therefore not relevant to the evaluation of a rubber mount.

If only the rubber diaphragm (marking) is cracked, the mount is still fully capable of functioning and must not be replaced
