How to Tell if the Shock Absorber is Broken?

[MaryFitz]

Perform an emergency brake on a safe road at a relatively reduced speed; oil leakage; the car oscillates several times before coming to a complete stop; unusual noises—these four phenomena indicate that the shock absorber is damaged. Here is some information about shock absorbers: 1. Function: The shock absorber is an important component of the car's suspension system. Its role is to dampen the vibration and deformation absorbed by the spring, as well as the oscillation during spring rebound, and to absorb impacts from the road surface. It affects the car's ride comfort and handling, and also impacts driving safety. 2. How to Check: After driving on an uneven road for a distance and stopping, touch the outer shell of the shock absorber to see if it is hot. If it is not hot, it means the shock absorber is not working. In this case, you can add sufficient lubricating oil and continue driving. If the shell is very hot, it means the shock absorber is not broken.
