Segway VILLIAN SSV Series - Absorber Inspection; Shock Absorber

FRONT & REAR SUSPENSION
Absorber inspection
Because the front shock absorber is a sealed unit, it
cannot be disassembled,only external inspection is
required. If one unit is damaged, replace two shock
absorbers together as a set. If only one unit is replaced,
when the two shock absorbers are out of balance, it may
cause the vehicle to become unstable at high speeds or
deteriorate the overall comfort.
