Check of the shock-absorber
The shock-absorber can be checked manually. However exact check of operation of shock-absorbers is possible only with the help shock tester or the special test car. Check manually 1 Remove the shock-absorber.
3 At gas-filled shock-absorbers with a sufficient pressure of gas the rod itself comes back to a starting position. If the rod does not come back, it does not mean need of obligatory replacement of the shock-absorber. Its principle of action corresponds to the principle of operation of the ordinary shock-absorber until there is no considerable leak of oil. The damping operation of the shock-absorber remains also in the absence of gas pressure. However at the same time its noise characteristics worsen. 4 At normal functioning of the shock-absorber insignificant traces of the flowed-out oil are not the basis for its replacement. The basic rule is the following here: if the oil acting from a rod epiploon is visible, but it does not spread further the lower plate of a spring, then the shock-absorber is serviceable. Insignificant leak of oil has even some advantage as at the same time the epiploon is greased that promotes increase in its service life. 5 At considerable leak of oil the shock-absorber is subject to replacement. |
