How to Determine if the Shock Absorber is Faulty?

[Maria]

Methods to determine if the shock absorber is faulty: 1. Shock absorber leakage: The outer surface of a normal shock absorber is dry and clean. If oil seeps out, and hydraulic oil from the shock absorber leaks from the upper part of the piston rod, the shock absorber is basically broken; 2. When the car passes over rough roads or speed bumps, the wheels make a banging sound, indicating that the shock absorber on the wheel is broken; 3. When the car turns, the body roll increases significantly, and in severe cases, even skidding may occur. This is mainly because the damping force of the shock absorber is too small to effectively suppress the compression of the spring. In actual use, the shock absorber may produce noise due to faults, mainly caused by collisions between the shock absorber and the leaf spring, frame, or axle, damage or detachment of rubber pads, deformation of the shock absorber dust cover, or insufficient oil. The cause should be identified and repaired accordingly.
