What are the effects of not replacing broken shock absorbers on a car?
1 Answers
Here are the specific impacts of not replacing damaged car shock absorbers: 1. Oil leakage. Once a shock absorber leaks oil, the internal hydraulic system pressure becomes unbalanced, reducing or eliminating the damping effect. This prevents the shock absorber from controlling the frequency of spring oscillations, resulting in excessive and rapid bouncing of the suspension springs while driving. 2. Abnormal noises. Internal noises in shock absorbers mainly manifest as drum-like sounds, caused by wear and poor sealing of internal hydraulic components, producing dull hydraulic knocking sounds. 3. Steering issues. A faulty top mount can affect the steering weight and responsiveness in one direction, particularly noticeable during low-speed turning.
