Ⅲ Inspection of Shock Absorber

1) Inspect shock absorber

a) Inspect shock absorber for oil leakage, replace it if necessary. Then inspect the damping force

of the shock absorber, and replace it if not conform to specification.

b) Inspect the thrust bearing to see if there is any excessive wear or abnormal noise stuck; Inspect

the lower spring seat for cracks or deformation; Inspect limit stop for damages; and inspect the

stop pad for wear, cracks and deformation. Replace the defective parts.

Note: implement the following procedures when discarding shock absorber.

2) Discarding

a) Stretch the shock absorber rod as far as possible.

b) Discharge the gas inside the shock absorber cylinder by bit to drill a hole in the cylinder body.

Caution: The gas discharged is hazardous-free, however, be cautious to scrap iron splashes

when drilling the cylinder body.
