| Checking | ||
1 | Check piston rod for surface damage, bending and for moving in the guide bush without jamming | When reusing shock absorber | |
Dispose of shock absorber if necessary. | |||
By workshop: | |||
| Scrapping gas-filled shock absorbers | ||
Disposal by scrap dealer: | |||
| Notes on scrapping gas-filled hydraulic components | ||
2 | Check damper for external oil leaks | When reusing shock absorber | |
A thin film of oil on the shock absorber is permissible. | |||
Dispose of shock absorber if necessary. | |||

3 | Check shock absorber for internal leakage | When reusing shock absorber | |
Check not possible on model 140, 163, 164, 166, 168, 203, 209, 251, 414. | |||
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: | |||
Model 129, 170, 202, 208, 210, 211, 230 | |||
Shock absorber in used condition: | |||
Model 129, 170, 202, 208, 210, 211, 230 | |||
If shock absorber exceeds specified value, dispose of it: | |||

| Notes on scrapping gas-filled hydraulic components | ||
4 | Check rubber mount in housing eye, replace if necessary | When reusing shock absorbers with rubber mounts in housing eye | |
The rubber mounts must be seated securely in the body eye and must not be cracked or damaged. Damaged or loose rubber mounts can cause thumping noises. |
