- Inspect for a damaged or broken coil spring.
- Inspect for torn or damaged dust boot (1).
- Inspect jounce bumper for signs of damage or deterioration.
- Inspect coil spring isolator on lower spring seat for any signs of damage or deterioration.
- Lift dust boot (1) and inspect strut (damper) (4) for evidence of fluid running from upper end of fluid reservoir. (Actual leakage will be a stream of fluid running down the side and dripping off lower end of unit). A slight amount of seepage between the strut shaft (2) and strut shaft seal is not unusual and does not affect performance of the strut assembly.
