| Compress shock absorber by hand. It should be possible to press in the piston rod smoothly and with uniform force over the full travel. |
| The piston rod will return to its initial position if there is sufficient gas pressure in the shock absorber. |
| If the piston rod does not return to its initial position by itself, the shock absorber may still be serviceable, provided there is no loss of fluid. |
