14-10 SUSPENSION
Struts and Rear Shock Absorbers
Shock Absorber Inspection
•
Visually inspect the shock absorber for breaks or distor-
tion.
If the shock absorber is damaged in any way, replace it.
•
Check for oil leakage at the shock absorber damper unit.
If oil leakage is noted, the shock absorber should be re-
placed to renew the oil seal.
•
Visually inspect the rubber bushings in the upper and/or
lower mountings of the rear shock absorber.
If they are worn, cracked, hardened, or otherwise dam-
aged, replace them with new ones.
