The Difference Between Shock Absorber Leakage and Seepage

[LaIsabella]

The difference between shock absorber leakage and seepage is: 1. Oil quantity differs: In shock absorber leakage, you can clearly see oil flowing or dripping out; in shock absorber seepage, you won't see oil flowing or dripping out, but you may notice some oil stains on the shock absorber's cylinder body. 2. Shock absorption effect differs: With shock absorber leakage, the shock absorption performance significantly deteriorates; with shock absorber seepage, the shock absorption effect remains largely unchanged. Shock absorbers are wear-prone components in vehicles, and some may develop seepage or leakage over time. Leakage or seepage in shock absorbers can affect the driving feel and handling of the vehicle. If your shock absorbers are leaking or seeping, it is recommended to replace them immediately, and always replace all four shock absorbers at the same time. During regular use, try to reduce speed when driving over bumpy roads to minimize the impact on the shock absorbers and suspension system.
