What is the reason for the broken spring of the Bora shock absorber?
2 Answers
Bora shock absorber spring breakage is caused by poor linkage coordination. The following are methods to check whether the shock absorber is damaged: 1. External surface: Generally, the external surface of the shock absorber is dry. If oil seeps out or hydraulic oil leaks from the piston rod, the shock absorber is damaged. 2. Rough roads: When driving on rough roads or speed bumps, if abnormal noises occur from the wheels, the shock absorber is damaged. Below are extended notes on Bora car first maintenance considerations: 1. Appointment: Make an appointment in advance. 2. Essentials: Bring necessary items such as the maintenance manual and vehicle license. 3. Records: Record any faults or questions encountered during daily driving and inform the staff during the first maintenance registration.
Spring breakage is quite common on the Bora. I remember when the rear spring on my car suddenly snapped - it really gave me a fright. The main reason is metal fatigue from prolonged use, combined with driving on poor road surfaces full of potholes that constantly impact the springs, accelerating crack propagation. Overloading is another issue - once when helping a friend move furniture, the rear was packed full and exceeded weight limits, putting extra strain on the springs that makes them prone to breaking. I think there might be some design weaknesses, but it's more often caused by driving habits, like always hitting speed bumps without slowing down. It's crucial to regularly inspect the suspension system - I recommend having mechanics check the springs during annual maintenance, replacing them if there's any abnormal noise or looseness. Safety comes first, as a breakage at high speed could be dangerous, forcing you to pull over urgently.
