(10) on slider tube contacts upper bushing (1) in slider.

. Inspect the O-ring (6) for damage, wear

or general deterioration. Replace as necessary.

Replace all other removed seals.

Inspect damper tube ring(s) (4). Replace as necessary.

Check dust seal (12) where it contacts slider tube (9). Dust
seal should provide continuous contact against slider tube

surface should be shiny, smooth and free of scoring or
abrasions.

Verify small hole in lower end of slider tube groove is
unobstructed.
