What are the signs of a broken car shock absorber?
1 Answers
The signs of a broken car shock absorber are as follows: 1. Body shaking: For cars, shaking the body can be used to judge the performance of the shock absorber. Alternatively, the shaking state of the vehicle after emergency braking can be used to determine. After the shock absorber fails, the number of times the vehicle shakes is significantly more than normal. When the vehicle is stationary, forcefully grab the bumper or hood and shake it, then suddenly release when the shaking reaches its maximum amplitude. 2. Abnormal temperature: The shock absorber converts the mechanical energy of wheel and body vibration into heat energy, which is dissipated in the form of heat, thereby achieving the purpose of attenuating vibration. The more vibration energy absorbed, the higher the temperature of the shock absorber. When the shock absorber's energy absorption is saturated, the temperature basically stops rising. Usually, thermal equilibrium is reached in about half an hour. 3. Oil leakage: If there are oil stains or oil droplets on the cylinder wall and lower suspension ring of the shock absorber, it indicates that the shock absorber is leaking oil. During operation, the high-temperature oil evaporates into oil mist, which often adheres to the cylinder wall. Road dust adheres to it, forming a layer of oil sludge, which is normal.
