THE BALL STUD NECK OF THE POWER STEERING AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC CYLINDER MAY FAIL ALLOWING THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER TO HANG FROM ITS HYDRAULIC LINES AND MAY SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. IF THE BALL STUD NECK FAILED DURING A QUICK STEERING MANEUVER, THE INCREASE IN TORQUE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE MIGHT CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
