With a special tool (J38402, A-42) compress a spring strut so that the impact on the cup spring was minimal (Fig. 4.19).

NOTE
Do not use air tools (impact wrench).

Loosen the nut of the top end of the damper rod.
Remove the damping support of a rack, the top cup springs, a spring and a protective cover on the front strut assembly.

Check
Check the bearing damping support strut for wear or damage.
Check the rubber parts for damage or deterioration of the technical condition.
Check the spring for wear or deformation (subsidence and reduced stiffness).

Checking the shock absorber
