Can You Still Drive with a Broken Shock Absorber Spring?

[BradyAnn]

No, it poses a significant safety hazard. Below are specific solutions to determine if the shock absorber spring is faulty: Listen for sounds: When driving on rough roads, if you hear heavy knocking noises from the car, and the more bumpy the road, the more pronounced these sounds become—especially if they originate from the tire area—it indicates that the shock absorber may be malfunctioning or no longer working properly. Check for oil leaks: Inspect for oil leaks. A dry and clean surface on the shock absorber is normal. However, if you notice oil seeping from the top of the shock absorber, it suggests that the internal hydraulic oil may be leaking from the piston rod. When oil leakage occurs, it means the shock absorber is no longer functioning correctly, and repairs are necessary at this point.
