1. Remove the protective plug, rubber support and the remote plug from a rod.
2. Check a rod for existence of scratches and bends. The curved rod has to jam at compression.

3. Gas and oil chambers in the shock-absorber 4 (fig. 7.11) are separated by the dividing piston. Check oil volume as follows: move a rod to the level of the dividing piston and measure a way of a rod. New shock-absorbers have a side play of 0-2 mm, value of a way of a rod for replacement – 20 mm.
4. Move a rod to the level established on the car, and release. At the same time there should not be clapping or hissing sounds.
5. Shock-absorbers can be replaced on one, but at the same time it is important to observe color marking. At old shock-absorbers pair replacement is recommended.
