For shock absorbers of large regular route buses ('non-step' buses), the radius rod on the rear axle may not have sufficient strength around the threads of the ball stud. If the bolt is taken out for maintenance etc. many times, the threads may be damaged and break, and in the worst case, the driving stability may be jeopardized.
