Checking the rear suspension (Escort 5)

Raise the rear of the vehicle and secure it on stands.

Check the condition of the constant velocity joint protective covers.

Check bearings, suspension bushings and shock absorber installation for wear.

Check the shock absorbers for shock absorber fluid leaks.

Place the car on the ground and check the operation of the shock absorbers by pressing on the body and releasing it sharply. If the shock absorbers are working normally, the car should swing only once, otherwise it is necessary to check the condition of the shock absorbers on the stand and replace them if necessary.
