Why is the rear shock absorber higher on one side than the other?

[LeAlyssa]

This is due to the forward inertia effect when the car brakes. To prevent the front of the car from rubbing against the ground, the shock absorbers are designed to be higher in the front and lower in the rear. Car shock absorbers, also known as car dampers, typically last for about 80,000 kilometers, assuming an average annual driving distance of 20,000 kilometers. Beyond this point, they may become damaged and lose their effectiveness, requiring replacement. Here are some key points to note: 1. Point one: After driving the car on rough roads for about 10 kilometers, stop and touch the outer shell of the shock absorber. If it is not warm enough, it indicates that there is no resistance inside the shock absorber, meaning it is not functioning properly. In this case, adding an appropriate amount of lubricating oil and retesting may help. If the shell becomes warm, it suggests a lack of oil inside the shock absorber. 2. Point two: Press down firmly on the bumper at the front of the car and then release it. If the car bounces two or three times, it indicates that the shock absorber is working well. Thirdly, if the car vibrates excessively when braking suddenly during slow driving, it suggests a problem with the shock absorber.
