How Often Should Shock Absorber Top Mounts Be Replaced?

[MacCora]

Shock absorber top mounts do not have a fixed replacement interval. Relevant information is as follows: 1. When the vehicle produces particularly loud noises when passing over bumpy roads, along with symptoms such as directional deviation or creaking sounds during stationary steering, the shock absorber top mounts should be replaced. Otherwise, it will affect both the driving experience and safety. 2. If the shock absorber top mounts and buffer rubber lose their elasticity and softness due to aging, or even become damaged, the force from the suspension's up-and-down movement will be directly transmitted to the metal structure of the vehicle body, causing noticeable impact noises. Especially when driving on uneven roads, the suspension components may produce clanking metal impact sounds. Severe damage can also shorten the lifespan of the shock absorbers.
