What is the solution for car shock absorber oil leakage?
2 Answers
Car shock absorber oil leakage can be addressed by: 1. Tightening the oil cylinder cover nut; 2. Replacing the sealing components or the shock absorber. The causes of car shock absorber oil leakage are: 1. Poor internal cleanliness of the shock absorber, with welding slag or iron filings causing oil seal wear; 2. Harsh working conditions of the shock absorber, allowing external sand and debris to enter the oil seal, leading to wear and oil leakage; 3. Aging of the shock absorber oil seal's sealing lip, resulting in loss of sealing function; 4. Failure to properly cover the shock absorber during undercoating, causing the coating to adhere to the shock absorber piston rod; 5. Damage to the control rod that regulates piston movement. Types of car shock absorbers include hydraulic and pneumatic.
As a family car owner who loves cars, I've also experienced shock absorber oil leakage, which made me quite worried. The solution is simple: if you notice oil stains or droplets on the shock absorber, don't drive the car anymore, as this can seriously affect driving stability. First, check the size of the oil leak. For minor dripping, you can clean it with a cloth yourself and observe for a few days, but avoid high-speed driving. If the leakage is severe, it's best not to take risks and tow the car directly to a professional repair shop. Technicians will disassemble it to check whether it's due to seal aging or oil pipe damage. For older cars, there's an 80% chance you'll need to replace the shock absorber. After replacement, conduct tests to ensure there are no other issues. During regular maintenance, periodically check the condition of the shock absorbers—don't wait until major problems arise. Prolonged oil leakage can cause rapid tire wear and make the car unstable during turns, which is unsafe for the whole family. My experience tells me that early detection and treatment save both peace of mind and money.
