What are the symptoms of damaged shock absorber top rubber?
1 Answers
Damaged shock absorber top rubber exhibits the following symptoms: 1. Abnormal noises: When the shock absorber top rubber is severely worn and damaged, the vehicle's shock absorber will produce unusual sounds during operation. The steering may become misaligned or the steering wheel may tilt during straight-line driving. 2. Steering deviation: When the shock absorber top rubber is damaged, the vehicle's steering may exhibit slight deviation, difficulty in returning to center, and reduced return force. 3. Increased noise: Due to the lack of cushioning from the top rubber, the shock absorber will transmit absorbed vibrations and impacts directly from the chassis to the passenger compartment during operation. 4. Stationary steering noise: Even when the shock absorber is not in operation, excessive wear and damage to the top rubber can cause very noticeable abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel while stationary.
