What to Do When Shock Absorber Dust Cover Makes Noise in Winter?

[LeBradley]

If the shock absorber dust cover is making noise, it is necessary to check whether the shock absorber is leaking oil or if there is an issue with the pressure bearing on the shock absorber upper cover. Timely replacement can resolve the problem. The specific methods are as follows: 1. First, listen directly. Under low-speed driving conditions, if the tire passes over a raised area, there will be slight vibrations accompanied by a hollow sound. The sound appears dull, and at this point, you can use experience to determine which suspension is producing the noise. Then, further inspect for any damage. If there is no damage, do not make any adjustments and take it to a repair shop for inspection. 2. Next, observe. Check if the shock absorber is leaking oil. Without rain or car washing, look for oil on the shock absorber shell or dust cover—this is very obvious and can be seen directly. 3. Finally, use your hand to press. Press down on the upper part of the suspension, such as the front and rear fenders. If there is a fault, the shock absorber will feel unusually stiff, which is usually caused by long-term oil leakage and also needs to be addressed.
