On Vehicle Assembly Inspection:

1. Inspect for damaged or broken coil springs.
2. Inspect for torn or damaged strut assembly dust boots.
3. Inspect for damaged lower spring isolator.

Strut Assembly Leakage Inspection:

4. Lift the dust boot and inspect strut assembly for evidence of fluid running from the upper end of the 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 rod and the strut shaft seal is not unusual and does not affect performance of the strut assembly. Also, inspect the jounce bumper for signs of damage or deterioration.
