What Causes the Noise in Newly Replaced Shock Absorbers?

[MacRiley]

Shock absorbers may produce abnormal noises due to improper installation of the new shock absorbers, quality issues with the new shock absorbers, or the shock absorbers not being original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Below are solutions for shock absorber noise: 1. If none of the above reasons apply, you can also check whether the suspension bushings have aged, as worn suspension bushings can cause suspension looseness, leading to a gurgling noise from the shock absorbers. 2. If the shock absorber spring is deformed, it can also cause noise. In this case, simply replacing the shock absorber spring will resolve the issue. 3. The noise from the shock absorber might actually be from the wheel bearings. If this is the case, replacing them directly is the solution. It's important to note that if the shock absorber is faulty, it must be replaced, as it cannot be repaired.
