What are the symptoms of a broken shock absorber?
1 Answers
Symptoms of a broken shock absorber: 1. Oil leakage. Use a flashlight to inspect the shock absorber through the wheel arch. If oil leakage is found on the exterior of the shock absorber, it indicates damage; 2. Loose chassis. When driving on bumpy roads, if the vehicle body exhibits excessive bouncing or instability, it usually indicates a problem with the shock absorber; 3. Abnormal noises. If the shock absorber makes unusual noises while driving on bumpy roads, it is highly likely that the shock absorber is damaged; 4. Uneven tire wear. When the shock absorber is broken, the wheels will vibrate unevenly during driving, causing phenomena such as wheel tilting. This leads to severe wear on the part of the tire in contact with the ground, while the unaffected part remains unworn, resulting in uneven wear patterns.
