Can Car Shock Absorbers Be Replaced One by One?
1 Answers
Car shock absorbers cannot be replaced one by one; they need to be replaced together when damaged. Different models of car shock absorbers have varying parameters, and inconsistent specifications on both sides can lead to unbalanced vehicle sides during driving, affecting driving safety. The function of shock absorbers: to mitigate road impacts, absorb vibrations generated during bumps, and restore the vehicle to normal driving conditions. The working principle of shock absorbers: when relative motion occurs between the frame or body and the axle due to vibrations, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down. The oil in the shock absorber cavity repeatedly flows from one cavity to another through different pores. The friction between the pore walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction between oil molecules, creates a damping force that converts the vehicle's vibration energy into thermal energy of the oil, which is then absorbed and dissipated into the air by the shock absorber.
