Inspect condition of boots. If there is any tear, re-

press the piston several times over its entire
stroke; it should move smoothly and with uniform
resistance.
Pay attention to the following conditions that will
denote a defective shock absorber:
– A skip or a hang back when reversing stroke at
mid travel.
– Seizing or binding condition except at extreme
end of either stroke.
– Oil leakage.
– A gurgling noise, after completing one full com-
pression and extension stroke.
Renew if any defects are present.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly is essentially the reverse of disassem-
bly procedure. Refer to the main illustration at the
beginning of this subsection for torque specifica-
tions and service products to be used.
WARNING
Do not attempt to dismantle a spring without
using the proper tool.
