Rear Damper/Spring Disassembly, Reassembly, and Inspection: Inspection
- 1. Damper/Spring - Inspect
1. Reassemble all the parts, except the spring mounting cushion, the dust cover, the bump stop, and the damper spring
2. Compress the damper assembly by hand, and check for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension. The damper should extend smoothly and constantly when compression is released. If it does not, the gas is leaking and the damper should be replaced
3. Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, or binding during these tests.
