Can a leaking shock absorber be repaired?

[EverettDella]

Leaking shock absorbers cannot be repaired. Shock absorber oil leakage will affect driving comfort, significantly impact vehicle handling, and reduce the service life of other components. Symptoms of shock absorber damage include: 1. Abnormal noises from the shock absorber when driving on bumpy roads; 2. Visible oil leakage on the exterior of the shock absorber; 3. Excessive body bouncing and instability when driving on uneven surfaces; 4. High temperature on the shock absorber casing after driving. The working principle of shock absorbers is: When relative motion occurs between the frame/body and axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down, causing the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through different orifices. The friction between the orifice walls and the oil, along with the internal friction between oil molecules, creates damping force that converts vehicle vibration energy into heat energy, which is then absorbed by the shock absorber and dissipated into the air.
