- Check the rubber parts (insulator dust cover, Strut insulator, Spring seat assembly, Strut dust cover, Spring lower pad) for damage or deterioration.
- Check the coil spring for sagging and weakness.
- Reassemble all the parts except for the coil spring.
- Repeat pushing and pulling of the damper assembly as shown.
- Check for smooth operation through a full stroke. If there is no compression, no extension, and the gas is leaking, it is strongly recommended that the damper should be replaced.
