Repair Procedures: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia K900. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check the components for damage or deformation.
  2. Compress and extend the piston rod and check that there is no abnormal resistance or unusual sound during operation.
  3. When disposing the shock absorber, fully extend the piston rod (A) and then drill a hole on the B section to discharge gas from the cylinder.
    CAUTION: The gas coming out is harmless, but be careful of chips that may fly when drilling. Be sure to wear safety goggles or eye protection when performing this task.
