What will happen if the shock absorber has broken? Does the shock absorber need to be replaced when leaking oil?

1.What will happen if the shock absorber is broken?

You can feel it while driving if the shock absorber is broken.

The stability of the vehicle will be poorer, and the car will shake up and down if the road surface is slightly uneven.When crossing a bumpy road, it will stop after shaking up and down once or twice usually.If the shock is broken,it will take three or four times to stop, and the amplitude will become larger.This is a classic sign of a broken shock absorber.

2.Common damage methods of shock absorbers.

Oil leakage and abnormal sound of shock absorbers are the most common reasons for replacing shock absorbers, of which oil leakage accounts for the majority.

Oil leakaging

The shock absorber can work normally, depends on the hydraulic oil inside.The performance of the shock absorber will definitely decline once the oil leaks.And it's completely broken if leaks a lot of oil,has to be replaced.

How can we know if shock absorber leaks badly? Depending on whether there is fresh oil on it.If there have fresh oil, That means the oil leakage is serious.

If there is no fresh oil,just some oil accounting for a lot of dust and looks dirt.That indicates that it is not serious at this time and can be used for a while.

Abnormal sound

Abnormal sound will generally occur on bumpy road.But it needs to be tested to determined that the shock absorber is abnormal sound and then replaced.Because there are many possibilities of abnormal sound on bumpy road, many chassis parts can produce sound.

The shock also abnormal noise when driving on bumpy road in winter.That's because the temperature is low in winter and the hydraulic oil in the shock absorber is too thick and has poor fluidity.It will be fine after winter.
