Strut Damper Assembly: Inspection
- Inspect strut damper for fluid leakage, damage, or excessive wear. A slight amount of fluid seepage is usual and does not affect performance. Replace strut if fluid is leaking down sides of strut.
- Check strut damper mount assembly for deterioration of rubber isolator. Inspect retainers for cracks and distortion. Check bearings for binding. Ensure damper has no flat spots over its entire stroke. Replace all worn parts as necessary.
