  2. Visually inspect protective tube (2).

    IMPORTANT If the fastening points are out of alignment, the protective tube (2) can rub against the reservoir tube (1) of the shock absorber and the shock absorber is under stress.

    Slight paint abrasion is safe.

    The vehicle must be at the vehicle level when screwing on firmly the bolted connection of the shock absorber.

    Replace the shock absorber.
