If suspecting an internal gas leak between oil
chamber and gas chamber, check shock as fol-
lows:
Install shock in a vise clamping on its bottom eye-
let with its rod upward.
Let it stand for 5 minutes.
Completely push down the shock rod then re-
lease.
Rod must comes out at a steady speed. If speed
suddenly increases particularly at end of exten-
sion, replace shock.
If suspecting a frozen gas shock proceed as fol-
lows:
Place shock in a freezer (temperature below 0°C
(32°F)) for 4 hours.
Push down on rod and note its resistance, com-
pare to a new shock. If shock is frozen it will be
much more difficult to compress than for the new
one.
