WOODEN ELOCK
Check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension. The damper
should move smoothly. lf it does not (no compres-
sion or no extension), the gas is leaking, and the
damper should be replaced.
Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, or binding dur-
ino these tests.
