SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Gas Shock
Because of gas pressure, strong resistance is felt
when compressing shock.
For the verification of stroke, or if suspecting an
internal leak between oil chamber and gas cham-
ber, check shock as follows:
Install shock in a vise clamping on its bottom eye-
let with its rod upward. Verify the stroke compres-
sion when the rod is fully extended.
Let it stand for 5 minutes.
Completely push down the shock rod then re-
lease.
The shock should extend unassisted. Rod must
come out at a steady speed. If speed suddenly
increases particularly at end of extension, replace
shock.
If suspecting a frozen shock proceed as follows:
Place shock in a freezer (temperature below 0°C
(32°F)) for 4 hours.
Push down on rod and note its resistance. If
shock is frozen it will be much more difficult to
compress than for the new one.
