Inspection
Inspect the spring for damage. Replace if neces-
sary.
Inspect shock for oil leakage. Extend and com-
press the shock several times over its entire
stroke. Check that it moves smoothly and with
uniform resistance with rod up. Any of the fol-
lowing conditions will denote a defective shock:
– A skip or hang up when reversing stroke at mid
travel.
– Seizing or binding conditions except at extreme
end of either stroke.
– A gurgling noise after completing one full com-
pression and extension stroke.
Replace shock if any of these conditions are
found.
Assembly and Installation
For assembly and installation, reverse the disas-
sembly and removal procedures.

necessary.
– Move A-arm up and down. There should be no
noticeable looseness. Replace A-arm if neces-
sary.
Check lower A-arms for distortion or damage. Re-
place as required.
Check rubber bushings for excessive wear, cracks
or other damages. Replace A-arm if necessary.
Check ball joint bellows for cracks or any other
damage. Replace A-arm if necessary.
Inspect ball joint end for damage. Ensure it's mov-
ing freely. Replace A-arm if necessary.
