Overhaul

(b) Loosen the fixing nut on its bottom.

2. Checking shock absorber for oil leak

(a) Check shock absorber for oil leak. If any, replace with a new one.

3. Checking connecting pieces of shock absorber

(a) Check connecting pieces of shock absorber such as connecting links and rubber bushings for
damage. If any, replace with new ones.

4. Shock absorber performance inspection

(a) Press and pull the shock absorber to and fro for 2~3 times. You can deem it acceptable if its
travel is normal and uniform without noticeable idle travel, seizure, and resistance variations
in each whole reciprocating process and no oil leakage is found after a 24-hour horizontal
placement; otherwise, replace with a new one.
