Solutions for Shock Absorber Noise in Chery Arrizo 5

[KatherineAnn]

The causes of shock absorber noise include oil leakage and aging of the top mount thrust bearing. Below are the specific reasons for shock absorber noise: Shock absorber oil leakage: When the shock absorber leaks oil, the interior of the shock tube cannot be effectively lubricated, resulting in significant friction noise during operation. Aging of the top mount thrust bearing: The thrust bearing is located in the engine compartment. Open the hood and press down on the body to listen if the noise is coming from the top mount of the shock absorber. If so, it is likely due to aging of the thrust bearing. If the shock absorber spring is deformed or broken, the only solution is to replace the entire shock absorber spring.

I've been driving the Chery Arrizo 5 for five or six years and have also experienced shock absorber noise. That annoying squeaking sound during bumps is particularly frustrating. This issue generally stems from several aspects: primarily, the shock absorber itself has aged or is leaking oil, leading to seal failure and noise after prolonged driving. Additionally, worn suspension bushings or loose bolts are common causes, especially when driving on rough roads which exacerbates the problem. During inspection, I first stop the car and shake the wheel by hand to check for looseness. If there's none, it might be an internal issue requiring disassembly for inspection. Replacing the shock absorber isn't too expensive, costing a few hundred yuan, but I recommend avoiding roadside shops for original parts as they may not last. Overall, if you notice noise, get it fixed promptly to avoid compromising driving safety and causing further damage to the chassis. After each repair, the drive becomes much more comfortable and the car feels safer.

As a young driver of the Arrizo 5, I've encountered issues with noisy shock absorbers, typically a disturbing rumbling sound. Possible causes include damaged shock absorbers, deformed suspension bushings, or loose screws. I first tried to inspect it myself: lying under the car to check for any signs of oil leakage from the shock absorbers, then shaking the wheels to test for looseness, and tightening the screws with tools if necessary. If the noise disappears, it's a simple fix; otherwise, new shock absorbers are needed. This isn't something to take lightly, as they're connected to the entire suspension system, and failure could lead to unstable braking. My advice is to address it early and not delay—visit a reputable repair shop or 4S store where they can check the axle alignment to prevent other hidden issues. Avoiding potholes while driving can extend their lifespan, saving money and ensuring peace of mind.

Shock absorber noise is common on the Arrizo 5, mainly caused by component aging leading to internal oil seal leakage or spring deformation noise. During diagnosis, the car needs to be lifted to check the suspension bushings and bolt tightness. If issues are found, replace the shock absorber to ensure safety. Loud noises must be repaired quickly, otherwise it can affect driving stability and even pose a risk of loss of control. Taking it to a professional shop for inspection is cost-effective and reliable.
