What Are the Causes of Front Shock Absorber Oil Leakage in Cars?
1 Answers
Front shock absorber oil leakage in cars is caused by mechanical structural damage to the shock absorber. The front shock absorbers in cars typically use strut-type shock absorbers, where there is an oil film between the oil seal cover and the spring seat. If the oil film remains between the oil seal cover and the spring seat, it indicates that the shock absorber is functioning normally. However, if oil leakage occurs below the spring seat or the spring bracket, it signifies damage to the front shock absorber, which requires prompt replacement. To rapidly dampen vibrations between the frame and the body, thereby improving the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle, shock absorbers are generally installed in the car's suspension system. The most commonly used type in vehicles is the double-acting telescopic shock absorber.
