What Causes the Squeaking Noise from Shock Absorbers?
1 Answers
The reasons for the squeaking noise from car shock absorbers are: 1. Loose shock absorber mounting. Long-term vibrations during driving can cause the mounting nuts to loosen, leading to noise from the shock absorbers. Solution: Tighten the mounting nuts. 2. Lack of oil in the shock absorber can also cause noise. Check for oil leaks in the shock absorber. If there is a leak, it is recommended to replace the shock absorber directly. If there is no leak, other components of the shock absorber system need to be inspected. 3. Wear and tear of the rubber bushings at both ends of the shock absorber can create gaps at the mounting points, causing noise during driving. Replace the rubber bushings. 4. Deformation of the shock absorber piston rod, cylinder tube, or oil reservoir, or sticking of the piston rod can cause noise and lead to shock absorber failure, even posing safety risks. Repair is not recommended (as it is very complicated), and replacing the shock absorber is advised.
