What is the reason for the abnormal noise when pressing the rear shock absorber of a car?
1 Answers
Abnormal noise from the rear shock absorber of a car occurs when the shock absorber is damaged, causing issues in the coordination between its components. Below is relevant information about shock absorbers: 1. Importance: The performance of the shock absorber directly affects the smoothness of the car's ride and the lifespan of other mechanical parts. If there is abnormal noise, it may be due to malfunction after oil or air leakage, and it is recommended to replace the shock absorber to keep it in good working condition. 2. Maintenance method: After driving the car on poor road conditions for 10km, stop and touch the shock absorber housing by hand. If it is not hot enough, it indicates that there is no resistance inside the shock absorber, meaning it is not working. You can add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil and test again. If the housing becomes hot, it means the shock absorber is low on oil inside and should be refilled. Otherwise, it may lead to shock absorber failure.
