Should Shock Absorber Top Mounts Be Replaced Together?
1 Answers
Shock absorber top mounts can be replaced individually, but it is recommended to replace them in pairs. Additional information is as follows: 1. Reasons for replacing in pairs: Even if the original top mount is not damaged, prolonged use can lead to wear or cracking. Replacing only one side may cause an imbalance in support force between the two sides, so it is best to replace them as a pair. 2. Symptoms of a faulty shock absorber: A faulty shock absorber can be felt while driving, as the vehicle's stability deteriorates. The car will bounce excessively even on slightly uneven roads. For example, when driving over bumps, the car used to bounce twice and stop, but now it bounces three or four times with increased amplitude before coming to rest.
