Will uneven shock absorber heights cause the car to pull to one side?
1 Answers
Uneven shock absorber heights can cause the car to pull to one side, generally towards the lower side. Reasons for uneven shock absorber heights: When braking, the car experiences forward inertia. To prevent the front of the car from scraping the ground, the front shock absorbers are set higher than the rear ones. Car shock absorbers, also known as car dampers, typically last about 80,000 kilometers with an average annual mileage of 20,000 kilometers. When they reach this mileage, they may fail to function properly and require replacement. Below is relevant information about shock absorbers: Definition of shock absorbers: Shock absorbers (Absorbers) are used to dampen the oscillations from spring rebound after absorbing shocks and impacts from the road surface. They are widely used in automobiles to accelerate the attenuation of vibrations between the frame and the body, thereby improving ride comfort. When driving on uneven roads, although the suspension springs can filter out road vibrations, the springs themselves still undergo reciprocating motion. Shock absorbers are designed to suppress this spring oscillation. Working principle of shock absorbers: Most automotive suspension systems use hydraulic shock absorbers. Their working principle involves the piston inside the shock absorber moving up and down when there is relative motion between the frame (or body) and the axle. This causes the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through various orifices.
