How many kilometers should the shock absorbers of the Malibu be replaced?
1 Answers
The shock absorbers of the Malibu generally need to be replaced after driving 80,000 kilometers, and should not exceed 100,000 kilometers at most. Although there is no exact replacement cycle for shock absorbers—they need to be replaced as soon as they fail—shock absorbers are wear-prone parts that can get damaged as the vehicle's mileage increases, hence the need for regular replacement. Information about shock absorbers is as follows: 1. Shock absorbers are mainly used to suppress the oscillation of the spring after absorbing shocks and impacts from the road. When driving on uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing springs can filter out road vibrations, the springs themselves still have reciprocating motion, and the role of the shock absorber is to suppress this spring bouncing. 2. In automotive suspension systems, tube-type shock absorbers are widely used, which can provide damping in both compression and extension strokes, known as double-acting shock absorbers. There are also new types of shock absorbers, including gas-filled shock absorbers and adjustable-resistance shock absorbers.
