Due to recent events, please remember that the additional information available in the maintenance documentation, e.g. AP00.20-P-0054EW, with regard to assessing the rear axle, has now been augmented.
As part of the maintenance procedure, the rear axle carrier is checked for corrosion (sheet metal perforation, hole formation, rust-through damage), in particular, in the area of the mounting supports for the suspension struts such as the tie rod (figure A) and thrust arm (figure B).
