What Causes the Noise When the Front Shock Absorber is Compressed?
1 Answers
Front shock absorber noise when compressed can be caused by the following reasons: Shock absorber malfunction: This occurs due to collisions between the shock absorber and the leaf spring, vehicle frame, or axle, as well as damaged or detached rubber pads, deformation of the shock absorber dust cover, or insufficient fluid. Shock absorber top mount fracture: This indicates that the noise is caused by the front lower control arm bushing or a fractured shock absorber top mount, leading to a creaking sound from the front shock absorber. Function of shock absorbers: In a vehicle's suspension system, shock absorbers always work in conjunction with springs. When one corner of the vehicle body is compressed, it is actually the spring that is being compressed, while the corresponding control arm swings. When the body is released, the spring force causes the body to rebound, and the shock absorber dampens this rebound, helping the vehicle to stabilize after the rebound.
