E: INSPECTION
Check the removed part for wear, damage and
cracks, and then repair or replace it if defective.
1. DAMPER STRUT
1) Check for oil leaks.
2) Move the piston rod up and down to check that it
operates smoothly without any hitch.
3) Piston rod play
•Measure the play as follows:
Fix the outer shell in place and fully extend the rod.
Set a dial gauge at the end of rod L [10 mm (0. 39
in)], and then read the dial gauge indication P1while applying a force of W [20 N (2 kgf, 4 lb)] to the
threaded portion. Apply a force of 20 N (2 kgf, 4 lb)
from the opposite direction of “W”, and then read
the dial gauge indication P2.
Play limit (P1 + P2):
0.8 mm (0.031 in)
If the play exceeds limit, replace the strut.
2. STRUT MOUNT
Check the rubber part for deformation, cracks or
deterioration, and then replace it with a new one if
defective.
3. DUST COVER
If any cracks or damage are found, replace it with a
new one.
