heraldcoupe Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The tester will check for play and free movement of suspension, and signs of physically damaged components. If the springs aren't broken and the dampers don't leak, both will pass.Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
