DIAGNOSIS

EXCESSIVE FRICTION CHECK

Check excessive friction in the rear suspension as follows:

1.  With the aid of a helper, lift up on the rear bumper

and raise the vehicle as high as possible. Slowly
release the bumper and allow the car to assume
normal trim height.

2.  Measure the distance from the floor to the center of

the bumper.

3.  Push down on the bumper, release slowly, and al-

low the car to assume normal trim height.

4.  Measure the distance from the floor to the center of

the bumper.

The difference between the two measurements should be
less than 12.7 mm (0.50 inch). If the difference exceeds
this limit, inspect the control arms for damage or wear.

STRUT DAMPENER

A strut dampener is basically a shock absorber. However,
strut dampeners are easier to extend and retract by hand
than are shock absorbers.

Struts Seem Weak

Checks

Action

Check the tire pressures.

Adjust the tire pressures to the specifications on the tire
placard.

Check the load conditions under which the vehicle is nor-
mally driven.

Consult with the owner to confirm the owner

’

s understand-

ing of normal load conditions.

Check the compression and rebound effectiveness of the
strut dampener.

Quickly push down and then lift up on the corner of the
bumper nearest the strut dampener being tested.
Compare the compression and rebound with those of a
similar vehicle that has an acceptable ride quality.
Replace the strut dampener, if needed.

Struts Are Noisy

Checks

Action

Check the mountings for looseness or damage.

Tighten the strut dampener. Replace the strut dampener,
if needed.

Check the compression and rebound effectiveness of the
strut dampener.

Quickly push down and then lift up on the corner of the
bumper nearest the strut dampener being tested.
Compare the compression and rebound with those of a
similar vehicle that has an acceptable ride quality.
Replace the strut dampener, if needed.

Leaks

Checks

Action

Check for a slight trace of fluid.

The strut dampener is OK.

Check the seal cover on the fully extended strut.

Replace the strut dampener.

Check for an excessive amount of fluid on the strut damp-
ener.

Replace the strut dampener.
