1. Damper failure resulting from lack of sample analysis. Even up to this point, it can be possible to effect repair using Metaldyne’s expertise. The damper will be stripped and cleaned.

2. Measuring journal wear to assess damage for technical report and subsequent repair.

3. Machining inertia ring to remove bearing damage and to prepare a perfect surface that will ensure optimum damper performance.

4. Re-machining of internal damage on the casing.

5. Re-assembly, using technically superior material which will greatly extend the operating life of the damper.
