How Long Do BMW Shock Absorbers Generally Last?

[LeRiver]

Under normal circumstances, the service life of shock absorbers is: 80,000 kilometers or 4 years, depending on the actual situation. Most car owners only replace the independent shock absorbers when replacing them, while other components continue to be used as usual. During long-term driving, this can cause irreversible damage to other components that work in coordination with the shock absorbers, such as spring elasticity attenuation, top rubber aging, dust cover corrosion, buffer pad shrinkage, etc., resulting in the loss of their original performance. Here is some extended information: Notes: In fact, the replacement frequency may vary depending on different vehicle conditions, road conditions, and shock absorber manufacturers. For automobiles, shock absorbers mainly have two functions: first, to dampen vibrations transmitted to the body due to uneven roads or poor driving conditions, maintaining vehicle smoothness and ride comfort; second, to quickly eliminate vibrations caused by the road on the axle and wheels, ensuring that the wheels maintain traction at all times, thereby ensuring the vehicle's steering and braking functions and improving driving safety.
