I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crystal rubber?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'audited any hazard' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'hazard' could be 'wager' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'wager' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ne' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'manufacturing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
