	Checking
1.1	Check piston rod for surface damage, bending and for moving in the guide bush without jamming	Only if the old shock absorber is to be installed again.
		Dispose of shock absorber if necessary. By workshop: ↓

3.1	Check shock absorber for internal leakage	Only if the old shock absorber is to be installed again. This test is not possible on models 140, 163, 164, 168, 203, 209, 251, 414.700. The volume of oil in the shock absorber is determined by means of the projection length (a) of the piston rod. Push in piston rod as far as it will go. Then hold vertically so that piston rod points down, and measure projection length (a) of piston rod. Shock absorber in new condition:
		Shock absorber in used condition:

4.1	Check rubber mount in housing eye, replace if necessary	Only on shock absorbers with rubber mount in housing eye and only if the shock absorber is not replaced. The rubber mounts must be seated securely in the body eye and must not be cracked or damaged. If fitted, damaged rubber mounts can cause knocking noises.
