The spring mechanism inside the ball joint must be in the "ready" position.
– Check that the red marking 2 on the knob is inside the green zone
on the ball joint.
– Check that the locking ball 1 is inside the hole in the shaft section of the ball
joint.
– Check that the knob protrudes visibly from the ball joint, so that there is a
clear gap 3 between the knob and the ball joint.
The ball joint can only be installed if the internal spring mechanism is in the ready position.
