If there is abnormal noise from the top rubber of the front shock absorber in a car, it is necessary to consider replacing the top rubber of the front shock absorber. The function of car shock absorbers: Shock absorbers are used to suppress the oscillation after the spring absorbs shocks and the impact from the road surface. They are widely used in automobiles to accelerate the attenuation of vibrations in the frame and body, thereby improving the smoothness of the vehicle's ride. When driving on uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing springs can filter out road vibrations, the springs themselves still have reciprocating motion, and the shock absorbers are used to suppress this spring bouncing. Replacement of the top rubber of the shock absorber: Before replacement, park the car on a flat surface and prepare new top rubber, a jack, and soapy water, which can also be replaced with water diluted with dishwashing liquid; then, use the jack to lift the part of the car body that needs to be replaced, stretching the spring for easier replacement.
