What are the symptoms of a damaged car shock absorber top mount?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a damaged car shock absorber top mount include: 1. Reduced comfort, with particularly noticeable thumping sounds when going over bumps and speed bumps; 2. Increased tire noise, with severe cases producing a roaring sound; 3. The steering wheel being misaligned during straight-line driving, and the car not moving straight when the wheel is centered; 4. Squeaking sounds when turning the wheel while stationary, with severe cases also felt through the steering wheel; 5. Severe damage can affect the service life of the shock absorber. The car's shock absorber, also known as the suspension, is composed of both a spring and a shock absorber. The shock absorber is not used to support the vehicle's weight but rather to dampen the oscillations from the spring's rebound after absorbing shocks and to absorb the energy from road impacts.
