What are the effects of shock absorber oil leakage in cars?
1 Answers
The effects of shock absorber oil leakage in cars are: 1. Reduced performance; 2. Generation of abnormal noises; 3. Decreased comfort of the vehicle; 4. Severe internal damage to the shock absorber, potentially leading to fracture; 5. Compromised driving safety. The function of car shock absorbers: 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 car shock absorbers: When relative motion occurs between the frame or body and the axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down. The oil inside the shock absorber cavity repeatedly flows from one cavity to another through various pores. The friction between the pore walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction among oil molecules, creates a damping force against 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.
