Components of the damper top mounting

Check that the components have no faults that might impair their efficiency.

Damper

If faults attributable to the damper are found, the entire damper assembly should be replaced.

Coil spring

Make sure that it has no cracks or deformations that might impair its efficiency.

NOTE The coil springs are divided by means of a yellow or green paint strip on the central coil. Coils of the same category should be fitted.

Wishbone

Check that the wishbone is not deformed, that the balljoint head does not have excessive play, that the dust excluder is not damaged and that the rubber bushes are not worn, otherwise the complete wishbone will need to be replaced.
