What are the effects of shock absorber oil leakage?
1 Answers
The effects of shock absorber oil leakage are: 1. Reduced performance; 2. Generation of abnormal noises; 3. Decreased comfort of the vehicle; 4. Severe internal damage to the shock absorber, leading to its fracture; 5. Endangerment of driving safety. The function of a shock absorber: to mitigate the impact from the road surface, absorb vibrations generated during bumps, and restore the vehicle to normal driving conditions. The working principle of a shock absorber: when relative movement occurs between the frame or body and the axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down. The oil within the shock absorber cavity repeatedly flows from one cavity to another through different pores. The friction between the pore walls and the oil, along with the internal friction among oil molecules, creates a damping force against the vibration, converting the vehicle's vibrational energy into thermal energy of the oil, which is then absorbed by the shock absorber and dissipated into the air.
