What Causes the Front Shock Absorber Noise in Mercedes-Benz GLC?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz GLC front shock absorber noise may be caused by loose screws leading to parts colliding. Below is relevant information about the Mercedes-Benz GLC front shock absorbers: 1. Concept: The purpose of shock absorbers is to stabilize springs that cannot settle immediately—meaning after a spring is compressed and released, it continues to oscillate for some time. Shock absorbers absorb vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces, enhancing ride comfort. 2. Impact on the Vehicle: Unilateral shock absorber oil leakage can cause body imbalance, with one side higher than the other, leading to automatic vehicle drift during driving and accelerating irregular tire wear; aging or detachment of the shock absorber top mount can result in collisions with other components, producing abnormal noises—this is often the primary cause of chassis noise; weakened shock absorber springs with insufficient tension can significantly reduce damping and cushioning effects, increasing hydraulic pressure on the shock absorbers and leading to oil leakage.
My Mercedes-Benz GLC has been used for three years, and the front shock absorbers always make squeaking noises. These abnormal sounds are really annoying, usually caused by aging suspension bushings or loose parts. The Mercedes-Benz GLC's shock absorption system has some common issues, especially when the rubber dust cover cracks, allowing dust to enter the shock absorber, resulting in friction sounds. I've encountered similar situations where the chassis feels unstable when driving, and the creaking noise becomes more noticeable when turning. Don't delay; it's safer to go to a professional repair shop early to check, which can also avoid more expensive repairs later. Regular maintenance is crucial. I personally inspect the suspension components every six months to extend their lifespan and prevent abnormal sounds from occurring.
