The shock absorber can be checked by hand. However, an accurate check of the shock absorber is only possible on a test stand or using special diagnostic equipment.
Checking by hand
While holding the shock absorber in the installation position, stretch and compress it at least three times. In this case, the shock absorber should move all the way with a uniform force and smoothly, in addition, there should be no unusual noise.
Push the piston rod all the way in and then release it. It must again exit back at a uniform speed.
During normal operation, small traces of damping oil are not grounds for its replacement.
If there is a large loss of oil, replace the shock absorber. Install shock absorber.
