What are the symptoms of a bad vehicle shock absorber?
1 Answers
Automobile shock absorber damage symptoms include: steering wheel vibration, shock absorber oil leakage, and uneven tire wear. The shock absorber on a car is an important component of the vehicle's suspension system. Its function is to suppress the vibration deformation absorbed by the spring and the oscillation during the spring rebound, as well as to absorb the impact force from the road surface. Here is some extended information: 1. Steering wheel vibration: There are many components inside the shock absorber, such as piston seals and valves. When these components wear out, fluid will flow out from the valves or seals instead of maintaining a steady flow. This will cause vibrations from the steering wheel. If driving over potholes, rocky terrain, or bumps, the vibrations will become more intense. 2. Shock absorber oil leakage: A normal shock absorber has a dry and clean outer surface. If there is oil leakage, it indicates that the hydraulic oil inside the shock absorber is escaping from the upper part of the piston rod. In this case, the shock absorber is basically already ineffective. 3. Uneven tire wear: Shock absorbers are all about keeping the tires even and aligned on the road. If the shock absorber is not good, the tires will become uneven. The tires will start to wear unevenly, which will only make the driving experience more inconvenient and also make the ride very bumpy.
