What sounds indicate a broken car shock absorber?
1 Answers
Common sounds indicating a faulty car shock absorber include knocking, friction, clicking, and squeaking. Knocking sounds may result from oil leakage in the shock absorber or loose fixing screws at the top of the shock absorber. Friction sounds could be caused by severe oil leakage or misalignment of the shock absorber spring. Clicking sounds may occur due to loose fixing screws between the shock absorber and the chassis. If the buffer block gets stuck in a certain position and lacks lubrication, it may produce squeaking noises. Owners should conduct test drives to identify the source and characteristics of the sounds, observing whether the car shakes under conditions such as uneven roads, high speeds, or strong winds.
