Rear
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STRUT ASSEMBLY (REAR)
Inspect the strut assembly for the following conditions (Fig. 13):
-
Inspect for a damaged or broken coil spring.
-
Inspect for a torn or damaged strut assembly dust shield.
-
Lift the dust shield and inspect the strut assembly for evidence of fluid running from the upper end of the strut fluid reservoir. (Actual leakage will
be a stream of fluid running down the side and dripping off lower end of unit). A slight amount of seepage between the strut shaft and strut shaft
seal is not unusual and does not affect performance of the strut assembly.
-
Lift the dust shield and inspect the jounce bumper for signs of damage or deterioration.
