Rust or corrosion
If you see rust or corrosion on the cylinder, it may indicate that the cylinder has been exposed to moisture and may be worn or damaged.
Visible damage
If you see any visible damage such as dents, cracks, or bends in the china boom cylinder assembly or rod, it may indicate that the cylinder is worn or damaged.
