What are the effects of shock absorber oil leakage?

[DawsonFitz]

The effects of shock absorber oil leakage include: 1. The shock absorber stops working, losing its damping function, resulting in severe bumpiness during driving; 2. Reduced safety, increasing the risk of danger during braking or changing direction; 3. Poor handling, increased tire rolling resistance, and decreased vehicle control. Methods for self-checking shock absorbers: 1. Severe vibration during emergency braking; 2. Press down hard on the bumper and then release to see if the car bounces; 3. Remove the shock absorber, stand it upright, and check if the shock rod has stable extension and compression when pulled or pressed; 4. After driving, touch the shock absorber housing by hand to check for high temperature.
