Shock absorber is an important component in automobile suspension system. Its function is to restrain the spring from absorbing vibration deformation and the shock when the spring rebounds, and to absorb the impact force from the road surface. It will affect the ride comfort and handling of the car, as well as our driving safety. It is also a consumable part that will experience a decrease in performance or loss of function over time. How to tell if the shock absorber of the car is damaged?
1. The car performs emergency braking on a safe road at a relatively reduced speed, and observe whether the braking posture of the car is very different from the previous feeling. If the vibration is too large, there is a problem with the shock absorber.
2. Oil spill. The shock absorber can work normally, relying on the hydraulic oil inside. Once the oil leaks, the performance of the shock absorber will definitely decrease. If there is a lot of oil leakage, it is completely broken, it does not work, and must be replaced
3. When the car is stopped, when we press down and release the corner of the car body, the body will rebound under the spring force. If it tends to stabilize soon after the rebound, the shock absorber is good. If it stops after repeated shocks several times, it means that the shock absorption effect of the shock absorber is a bit poor.
4. Abnormal sound. The abnormal noise of the car is usually only caused by non-paved roads or bad roads, because the chassis can produce noise in many places, so we must confirm that it is the abnormal noise of the shock absorber and then replace it.
