Durability Loads on Watts Linkage

[sdipak]

Hi guys,
Sorry if this is already posted, I could find the exact answer.
My question is when you do the durability testing on Watts Linkage what kind of loads are generally applied. I was thinking only radial load should be involved or you need to apply axial load as well?

Any input will be helpful

Thanks

Load will be applied on the sleeve and plastic busing.
