COROLLA REAR SHOCK INSPECTION OPERATION

Delco rear shock absorbers used on North American built Corollas require a different inspection method than those used on Japan built models (RM250U page SA-62).

PREVIOUS INSPECTION METHOD:

(a) While pushing the piston rod, check that the pull throughout the stroke is even, and there is no abnormal resistance or noise.

(b) Push the piston rod in fully and release it. Check that it returns at a constant speed throughout.

NEW INSPECTION METHOD:

(a) While pushing the piston rod, check that the pull throughout the stroke is even, and there is no abnormal resistance or noise.

(b) Push the piston rod in so that the base of the notch located on the piston rod aligns with the top of the collar. Release the piston, checking that it returns at a constant speed throughout.



Caution:





If the shock rod is pushed beyond the notch, oil and gas charge leakage with possible inner seal damage will occur.
