<< B >> Shock Absorber Disposal Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Wear the protective glasses. Although the gas is harmless, drilling chips may be blown out by the gas.

Before disposal of the shock absorber, place the shock absorber on the level surface with the piston rod extended, and make a hole of approximately 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter at the point shown in the figure to discharge the gas.
