How to Solve the Noise Issue with Sylphy Shock Absorbers?
2 Answers
The solutions for abnormal noise in Nissan Sylphy shock absorbers are as follows: 1. Drive the car on rough road conditions for 10km, then stop and touch the shock absorber housing by hand. 2. If it is not hot enough, it indicates there is no internal resistance in the shock absorber, meaning it is not working. In this case, you can add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil and test again. 3. If the housing feels hot, it means there is insufficient oil inside the shock absorber. You should add enough oil and test again; otherwise, the shock absorber is faulty and needs to be repaired at a 4S shop. The causes of abnormal noise in shock absorbers are as follows: 1. Damaged shock absorber: When the vehicle's shock absorber is damaged, the coordination between its components is compromised, resulting in a clunking noise when operating on bumpy roads. 2. Damaged shock absorber top mount: The front shock absorber top mount of the car is made of rubber material and primarily assists the shock absorber and spring in providing cushioning and shock absorption. When the top mount is damaged due to excessive wear, it not only produces noise during operation but also causes noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary.
My Sylphy's shock absorber has also been making noises recently. The squeaking sound is especially annoying when driving over bumpy roads. I did some research myself and found that the most common causes are aging buffer rubber or loose screws. You can try checking if the chassis screws are tightened first, which can save a lot of trouble. If the noise persists, it's likely due to oil leakage in the shock absorber or issues with the top rubber, and you'll need to replace the parts. Don't delay too long, as it can affect tire grip and cornering stability, increasing the risk of accidents. I later went to a repair shop and spent a little over 300 yuan to replace the original buffer rubber and added a dust cover for protection. It's much quieter now. Usually, avoiding deep potholes and lubricating during maintenance can prevent these issues from recurring. Remember to address it promptly for a safer drive.
