What to Do About Severe Shock Absorber Noise in Skoda Octavia?
1 Answers
The causes of shock absorber noise include shock absorber oil leakage and aging of the shock absorber top mount thrust bearing. Below are the specific reasons for shock absorber noise: Shock absorber oil leakage: When the shock absorber leaks oil, the interior of the shock absorber cylinder cannot be effectively lubricated, resulting in significant friction noise during operation. Aging of the shock absorber top mount thrust bearing: The thrust bearing is located in the engine compartment. Open the hood and press down on the body to check if the noise is coming from the shock absorber top mount. If so, it is likely due to aging of the thrust bearing. If the shock absorber spring is deformed or broken, the only solution is to replace the entire shock absorber spring.
