(3) Connect the air tube at the shut-off valve side of the
special tool (air-pressure gauge) to the air tube side, and
the other one to the strut assembly.
The installation at the strut side is done by using the
special tool (adaptor set).
Caution
To prevent the entry of moisture during the strut
assembly air leak check, utilize air from the dryer.
(4) Remove the compressor connector, then operate it by
connecting it directly to the battery.
NOTE
Refer to P.33B-126 for compressor connector array.
(5) Insert the strut assembly into a water tank and check for air
leakage at a pressure of about 500 kPa (71 psi).
1. Don't mistake the rise of bubbles attached to the
outside of the strut for air leakage.
2. Dry the strut with an air blower after the check has
been completed.
(6) When air leakage is found, check the strut assembly and
replace it as necessary.
CHECKING THE ACTUATOR

SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
13. INSTALLATION OF STRUT ASSEMBLY

the direction shown in the figure.
NOTE
Be sure to check to be sure that the installation direction is
correct, because if it is not the wheel alignment will be
incorrect.
2. INSTALLATION OF AIR TUBE
(1) After coating the O-ring with rubber grease, install the O-
ring, bush and flare nut to the strut assembly.
Caution
1. The O-ring may be damaged if it is installed at the
air tube side when the connection is made.
2. The bush must be installed so that the projection
