What Causes Suspension Noise in Winter?

[McBentley]

The reasons for squeaking noises from car shock absorbers are: 1. Loose shock absorber mounting: Long-term vibration during driving can cause mounting nuts to loosen, leading to noise. Solution: Tighten the mounting nuts. 2. Insufficient shock absorber oil: Lack of oil can also cause noise. Check for oil leaks. If leaking, it's recommended to replace the shock absorber directly. If not leaking, inspect other components of the shock absorber system. 3. Worn rubber bushings: Wear at the rubber bushings on both ends of the shock absorber creates play at mounting points, causing noise while driving. Solution: Replace the rubber bushings. 4. Component deformation: Deformation of the shock absorber piston rod, cylinder tube, or oil reservoir can cause noise and lead to shock absorber failure, potentially resulting in safety hazards. Repair is not recommended (as it's complex); replacement of the shock absorber is advised.
