At regular intervals, the following rear suspension checks should be made:
1. Check for evidence of fluid leaks on rear shock strut. (A light film of fluid is permissible. Make sure fluid is not from sources other than rear shock absorber.)
2. Check rear shock absorber operation.
3. Check condition of upper and lower rear suspension arm bushings and rear suspension tension strut and bushings. Replace any damaged or worn components.
