201-00-3 Suspension System
Diagnosis and Test (Continued)
Warning:When disassembling the dust shield
/ limit block, over pushdown of the pushing
rod of the shock absorber should be avoided
in the compression process, so as not to cause
damage of internal components.
The shock absorber should be vertically placed on a
vice. Use a possibly-quick large travel compression
shock absorber. The compression motion of each time
must be steady and consistent. The phenomenon that
extending resistance is greater than compression
resistance is normal.
The following situations are abnormal:
– If lagging or skipping occurs during return after
the shock absorber is installed in place and in the
installation process.
– Locked.
– Apart from the slight sound of swish, noise, such
as the sound of click occurring during quick
return.
– Leakage.
– The pushing rod of the shock absorber is
completely stretched, and the piston rod of the
shock absorber swings corresponding to the
housing of the shock absorber.
If the shock absorber is still unstable after air
purification, please replace a new shock absorber. See
Section 201-01 (Front Shock Absorbing Devices) and
Section 201-02 (Rear Shock Absorber).
Rear Shock Absorber
Conduct the following inspections periodically to the
rear shock absorber:
1. Inspect whether the rear shock absorber has oil
leakage. (A layer of oil film is allowed, provided
that the leakage is not from other positions).
2. Inspect the working state of the rear shock
absorber.
3. Inspect the working state of the upper and the
lower axle linings.
