Shock Absorber Checks: Notes
CAUTION:
The low pressure gas shock absorbers are charged with nitrogen gas to 931 kPa (135 psi) for 1-3/16 inch bore, and 1034 kPa (150 psi) for 1-3/8 inch bore. Do not attempt to open, puncture, or apply heat to the shock absorbers.
All vehicles are equipped with low pressure gas-filled hydraulic shock absorbers of the direct acting type. They are nonadjustable and non-refillable. They cannot be serviced as cartridges and must be serviced as shock assemblies.
Before replacing a shock absorber, check the action of the shock absorbers as follows.
