Quality-qualified shock absorbers should not leak air, which may be caused by component quality issues. Hazards of shock absorber oil leakage: Oil leakage in shock absorbers leads to poor damping performance, especially generating noise when driving on rough roads. Prolonged leakage may damage the shock absorber springs and vehicle body. Shock absorber replacement procedure: First remove four screws to take off the mudguard, where you can see repaired AB adhesive. After loosening two screws fixing the brake caliper, remove the caliper. Take off the plastic cover at the top of the shock absorber, slightly loosen the screw with a hex key, then remove two hex screws fixing the shock absorber to detach it.

What's the reason for the popping sound when braking?

There are many reasons for abnormal noises when braking. Here are some common causes: 1. Popping sound after rainy days: This occurs because the brake disc and brake pads stick together due to rust. Usually, stepping on the brakes a few times after driving will wear off the rust on the brake disc. 2. "Clicking" sound during emergency braking: This is caused by the activation of the ABS system. When ABS is working, it's equivalent to rapid-frequency pumping of the brakes. You may feel strong vibrations in the brake pedal and hear a "clicking" sound from the master cylinder. Normally, this will disappear on its own after a few hard brakes or a few days of driving.
