What are the symptoms of a broken shock absorber?
1 Answers
Symptoms of a broken shock absorber: 1. Shock absorber oil leakage. Normally, the outer surface of the shock absorber is dry and clean. If there is oil leakage, it indicates that the hydraulic oil inside the shock absorber is flowing out from the upper part of the piston rod, which means the shock absorber is basically ineffective. 2. The car jumps during driving, and abnormal noises occur when braking. 3. When the car turns, there is a noticeable increase in body roll, and in severe cases, even skidding may occur. This is mainly because the shock absorber resistance is too small to effectively suppress spring compression. 4. When the car is stationary, press down one corner of the body and then release it. The body will rebound under the spring force. If it takes several oscillations to stop, it indicates that the damping effect of the shock absorber has been reduced.
