Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Hoist Check

1. Noise: Noise can be caused by loose suspension or shock absorber attachments. Verify that all attachments for the suspension components are tight. Replace any shock absorbers that have a damaged integral lower mounting bushing. Check front and rear shock absorbers for external damage.
2. Bottom/Hopping: Check condition of the rubber suspension travel stops (front shock absorber jounce bumper). Replace if worn or missing. Examine for evidence of previous overload which may have damaged components.
3. Only install one new unit in place of the worn or damaged suspension unit. Suspension units do not need to be installed in pairs, unless both units are worn damaged.
