Inspection
1. Reassemble all parts, except the spring.
2. Push on the damper as shown.
3. Check for smooth operation through a full stroke,both compression and sxtension.
NOTE: The damper should move smoothly. lf it
does not (no compression or no enension), the gas
is leaking. and the damper should be replaced.
