What is the loud bang sound when driving over a pothole at 80 km/h?
1 Answers
Due to the heavy weight of the vehicle and the high speed, suddenly driving over a pothole will inevitably cause significant compression of the shock absorber. Since the shock absorber has limited compression travel, it may bottom out when hitting the pothole. After passing the pothole, you can check whether the suspension is damaged by observing if there is any steering deviation, unusual noises during driving, or oil leakage from the shock absorber. If you are still concerned, you can have the vehicle lifted for inspection if conditions permit. Below is some relevant information about shock absorbers: 1. Factors affecting the lifespan of shock absorbers: There are many factors that affect the lifespan of shock absorbers, such as road conditions, personal driving habits, and the quality of the shock absorbers themselves. As long as the shock absorber does not show signs of oil leakage, internal rubber aging, or cracking, it can continue to be used. Of course, regular inspections can extend the vehicle's lifespan. Generally, shock absorbers should be inspected after driving about 100,000 kilometers. In reality, the replacement frequency may vary depending on different vehicle conditions, road conditions, and the manufacturer of the shock absorbers. 2. Types of shock absorber failures: Common shock absorber failures include unusual noises, oil leakage, and heavy steering. While shock absorber failures do not directly affect driving safety, they can impact the vehicle's handling and driving feel.
