What are the causes of shock absorber oil leakage?
1 Answers
Shock absorber oil leakage can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Poor internal cleanliness of the shock absorber, with welding slag, iron filings, and other debris causing oil seal wear. 2. Harsh working conditions of the shock absorber, allowing external contaminants such as mud and sand to enter the oil seal. 3. Aging of the sealing interface of the shock absorber oil seal, resulting in loss of sealing function. 4. Failure to properly cover the shock absorber during undercoating application, leading to coating adhering to the shock absorber piston rod. 5. Inadequate sealing at the extension point of the control piston rod, which needs to extend from one end of the metal tube. The consequences of shock absorber oil leakage include: 1. Reduced vehicle damping effect, causing abnormal noises when driving on bumpy roads and damaging the entire suspension system. 2. Uneven force distribution on the front wheels, leading to impaired vehicle control and prolonged misalignment of tires. 3. Compromised ride comfort.
