Can the broken shock absorber dust cover be ignored?
1 Answers
It must be replaced because sand and dust can easily enter during driving, which will affect the lifespan of the shock absorber. It is recommended to replace it as soon as possible. The function of the shock absorber dust cover: As the name suggests, the main function of the shock absorber dust cover is to prevent dust, but it is not just about dust prevention. Additionally, the shock absorber dust cover also plays a protective role, preventing the lubricating oil inside from leaking out and protecting the shock absorber from being covered by dust, thereby ensuring the shock absorber maintains optimal working conditions. Effects of a damaged shock absorber dust cover: A damaged shock absorber dust cover can directly lead to the failure of the shock absorber, reducing its damping effect. It can also cause more other issues, such as premature wear of the shock absorber oil seal, oil leakage from the shock absorber, engine jolting and loosening, etc.
