8.3 SHOCK ABSORBERS
The shock obsorbers ore of
the hydroulic,
telescopic, double-octing type of the PAL
moke.
The domping effect depends on the speed
of the
relotive movements of the oxle ond body. Doto
required for testing ond odiusting the shock
obsorbers ore given
in the following Tobles.

Reor Shock Absorber
type T 26x175; Ser. No. 443.621.247.OO1
1977-78 1 978 on Both
types of shock obsorbers ore of similor
design, only their bottom fostening
is different
(the front shock obsorber hos o fostening eye,
the reor shock obsorber hos
o bolt ond locks
the outer protective
tube). They hove
o differ-
ent stroke, domping force, ond filling
copocity.
Removing ond Refitting When removing or refitting o shock
obsorber,
retoin the piston
rod (upper
fostening) by hold-
ing the flottened end of the threod in o sponner.
In the cose of
the reor shock cbsorber, retoin

by holding the
heod of the bolt connecting it to the shock
obsorber cylinder.
The ossembly of the rubber bushes of the
respective shock obsorber mounting
con be seen
in Fig.8.3/1.
Access to the upper mountings of 'the
front
shock obsorbers is from the luggoge boot
(under the floor). The
threod is protected
by
o cop nut. The
mountings of
the reor shock
obsorbers ore occessible from the reor luggoge
comportment behing the reor seot bockrests ofter folding owoy the upholstery on the wheel
orch. The mounting is in the cyllndricol exten-
sion piece
in the scuttle
of the reor dosh.

beginning
with screwing out the plug
(1)
ofter the pro-
tective sleeve (tube)

dismontle the piston
volves since there is o risk
of impoiring the domping force
by mixlng up
the volves.
