What are the symptoms of a damaged shock absorber top mount?

[LeRafael]

Symptoms of a damaged shock absorber top mount are as follows: Abnormal noise while driving: When the shock absorber top mount is severely worn and damaged, the vehicle's shock absorber will produce abnormal noises during operation. Increased noise: Due to the reduced buffering effect of the top mount, the shock absorber will transmit the absorbed vibrations and impacts directly from the chassis to the passenger compartment during operation. Steering deviation: When the shock absorber top mount is damaged, the vehicle's steering may exhibit slight deviation, difficulty in returning to center, and weak return force. Abnormal noise during stationary steering: Even when the shock absorber is not in operation, excessive wear and damage to the top mount can cause very noticeable abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary.
