What are the symptoms of a broken car shock absorber?

[CharlieFitz]

Here are the specific manifestations of a damaged car shock absorber: 1. Abnormal noise accompanied by vibration: When driving over large potholes or raised sections of the road, the vehicle will produce a metallic collision sound and experience more than one instance of vibration. 2. Reduced rear-wheel grip: The car is prone to fishtailing or understeering. Since the shock absorber also prevents the tires from bouncing off the ground, damage to it will affect the stability of the rear wheels. 3. Passengers are more likely to experience motion sickness: With poor shock absorber performance, the car body will exhibit abnormal shaking, leading to discomfort and motion sickness on bumpy roads. 4. Poor handling: Especially at high speeds, the vehicle's steering becomes less responsive when shaking, and braking does not achieve the usual effect, reducing the driver's control over the vehicle.
