What Happens If You Don't Replace Leaking Shock Absorbers?
1 Answers
Shock absorbers that are leaking oil need to be replaced. If not replaced, the following issues may arise: 1. Affects comfort and handling: Shock absorbers and springs together form the suspension system. Leaking oil indicates a problem with the shock absorber, and its failure will not only affect comfort but also the vehicle's handling. 2. Safety hazards: In severe cases, it can cause the car to pull to one side, especially at high speeds, posing safety risks. Additional information: The main function of shock absorbers is to suppress the rebound of suspension springs after absorbing shocks and to mitigate impacts from the road surface. When a car travels over uneven roads, suspension springs filter out road vibrations, but the springs themselves still undergo reciprocating motion. Shock absorbers are used to control this spring oscillation.
