- Dampers fitted with electromagnetic damping, when stored in one
position for an extended period, can exhibit a characteristic where
the electromagnetic damping fluid separates out into its
constituent materials. This can give a false impression that the
damper piston rod is seized. This is normal. Therefore, when fitting
replacement electromagnetic damping dampers it is important that
prior to installing the dampers, they are inverted and compressed
against a suitable piece of wood by pushing downwards using body
weight only. Carry out this procedure 15 times. This makes sure that
the fluid is fully mixed and operating as normal. It is important that
the threads on the piston rod are protected at all times.
WARNING:
Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Always support the vehicle on safety stands.
Raise and support the vehicle.
