How Often Should Car Shock Absorber Springs Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Since the average car travels 20,000 kilometers per year and shock absorber springs should be replaced in pairs, the replacement frequency is generally every 4 years. However, in reality, the replacement interval may vary depending on different vehicle conditions, road conditions, and shock absorber manufacturers. Here is some relevant information about shock absorbers: Factors affecting the service life of shock absorbers: There are many factors that affect the service life of shock absorbers, such as road driving environment, personal driving habits, and the quality of the shock absorbers themselves. As long as there is no oil leakage, internal rubber aging, cracking, or other issues, the shock absorbers can continue to be used. Of course, regular inspections can extend the vehicle's lifespan. Generally, shock absorbers should be inspected after driving about 100,000 kilometers. In practice, the replacement frequency may vary depending on different vehicle conditions, road conditions, and shock absorber manufacturers. Types of shock absorber failures: Common shock absorber failures mainly include: abnormal noises, oil leakage, and heavy steering. While shock absorber failures do not directly affect driving safety, they can impact the vehicle's handling and driving feel.
