How to Determine if a Car's Shock Absorber is Faulty?
1 Answers
Methods to determine if a car's shock absorber is faulty include: 1. Perform an emergency brake at a relatively reduced speed on a safe road, observing whether the braking posture differs significantly from previous experiences—excessive vibration indicates a problem with the shock absorber; 2. Oil leakage—the normal operation of a shock absorber relies on hydraulic oil, and once leakage occurs, the shock absorber's performance will decline; 3. With the car stationary, press down on one corner of the body and then release it. If the body rebounds under the spring force and quickly stabilizes, the shock absorber is functioning normally. If it oscillates several times before stopping, the shock absorber's damping effect is poor.
