Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Testing and Inspection
Shock Absorber
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SHOCK ABSORBER
Inspect the shock absorber for damage and evidence of fluid running from the upper end of the fluid reservoir. (Actual leakage will be a stream of
fluid running down the side of the reservoir tube and dripping off lower end of unit). A slight amount of seepage between the shaft and shaft seal is not
unusual and does not affect performance of the shock absorber.
