REFER to: Lifting (100-02 Jacking and Lifting, Description and Operation). Ball Joint Inspection - Firmly grasp the outer end of the suspension lower arm and try to move it up and down, watching and feeling for any movement. Free movement will usually be accompanied by an audible "click''. There should be no free movement.
- If there is any free movement install a new lower arm.
REFER to: Lower Arm (204-01 Front Suspension, Removal and Installation).
- If a new lower arm is installed it will be necessary to check and adjust the front wheel alignment.
REFER to: Specifications (204-00 Suspension System - General Information, Specifications).
Strut or Shock Absorber Inspection NOTE:Inspect the struts or shock absorber for signs of oil weepage or leaks. Make sure that the oil is not from another source. Weepage: - deposits a thin film of oil on the strut and spring assembly or shock absorber.
- is normally noticed due to a collection of dust on the strut and spring assembly or shock absorber.
- occurs during the normal running-in period of 4800 - 8050 km. After this period no new signs of oil should be visible.
- does not require new struts or shock absorbers to be installed.
Leakage: - covers the entire strut and spring assembly or shock absorber with oil.
- will drip oil onto the surrounding suspension components.
- requires new struts or shock absorbers to be installed.
Strut or Shock Absorber Testing NOTE:Struts or shock absorbers must be tested in the vertical position. - Remove both strut and spring assemblies or shock absorbers. The piston rods should extend.
- Disassemble the strut and spring assemblies. REFER to: Shock Absorber and Spring Assembly (204-01 Front Suspension, Disassembly and Assembly).
- Compress the piston rods. Both piston rods should offer the same resistance when compressing.
- Compress and release the piston rods. The piston rods should extend equally.
- Compress and pull the piston rod in the vertical position. Feel if the resistance force at the point of direction change-over is perceptible without a lag. If a lag is perceptible it is an indication of shock absorber valve damage and new struts or shock absorbers must be installed. REFER to:
Shock Absorber and Spring Assembly (204-01 Front Suspension, Removal and Installation), Rear Shock Absorber (204-02 Rear Suspension, Removal and Installation). Load-Levelling Shock Absorber - With the vehicle unladen, measure and note the dimensions between the base of the wheel rim and the top of the rear fender on both sides.
- The measurements on both sides should be approximately equal.
- With a load of 4 average size adults and a 100 kg weight, measure and note the dimensions between the base of the wheel rim and the top of the rear fender on both sides.
-
NOTE:Due to the internal ratchet mechanism of the suspension components, the height of the rear of the vehicle should rise during the road test. With a load of 4 average size adults and a 100 kg weight, drive the vehicle for 3 km on a road of normal condition. - With a load of 4 average size adults and a 100 kg weight, measure and note the dimensions between the base of the wheel rim and the top of the rear fender on both sides.
- If the dimensions on both sides are no longer approximately equal, install new load levelling shock absorbers.
REFER to: Rear Shock Absorber (204-02 Rear Suspension, Removal and Installation).
-
NOTE:Due to the internal ratchet mechanism of the suspension components, the height of the rear of the vehicle should rise during the road test. If the dimensions are approximately equal, unload the vehicle and drive the vehicle for 3 km on a road of normal condition. - With the vehicle unladen, measure and note the dimensions between the base of the wheel rim and the top of the rear fender on both sides. Check the final dimensions with the original dimensions taken in the unladen condition.
- If the final dimensions do not approximately equal the original dimensions, install new load levelling shock absorbers.
REFER to: Rear Shock Absorber (204-02 Rear Suspension, Removal and Installation).
- If the final dimensions approximately equal the original dimensions, verify the customer concern.
