Should the Shock Absorber Rubber Sleeve Be Replaced If It's Damaged?
1 Answers
Shock absorber rubber sleeve should be replaced if it's damaged. The shock absorber is a vulnerable component during vehicle use, and its performance directly affects the smoothness of the car's ride and the lifespan of other parts. Below are the impacts of a damaged shock absorber rubber sleeve: Causes abnormal noises: When the shock absorber top rubber is severely worn and damaged, the vehicle's shock absorber will produce unusual noises during operation. Directional deviation: If the shock absorber top rubber is damaged, the vehicle's steering may exhibit slight deviations, difficulty in returning to center, and reduced return force. Increased noise: Due to the reduced cushioning effect of the top rubber, the shock absorber will transmit the absorbed impacts directly from the frame to the passenger compartment during operation.
