As the most core component of the vehicle's shock filter system, the car shock absorber is mainly responsible for absorbing the vibration and impact caused by the uneven road surface when the vehicle is driving, so as to provide a good and comfortable driving environment for the drivers and passengers in the car . Once the car shock absorber is damaged, it will greatly affect the driving comfort of the vehicle, and even cause hidden dangers to the safety of driving in serious cases.
Under normal circumstances, the most common failure phenomenon of automobile shock absorbers is oil leakage. So, if the shock absorber leaks, can we repair it? Does the shock absorber leak oil and need to be replaced?
Can the shock absorber oil leak be repaired?
As long as the shock absorber oil leakage is caused by the normal aging damage of the internal oil seal, it can be repaired (by replacing the shock absorber oil seal); of course, if the shock absorber is caused by a strong impact and other factors If the oil leaks, then repairs cannot be carried out and can only be replaced. And this is also the maintenance method adopted by the mainstream of 4S shops and repair shops.
Should the shock absorber leak oil need to be replaced?
Regarding the question of whether the shock absorber needs to be replaced, it must be judged according to the actual situation. If the shock absorber only has a slight oil leakage, we can even ignore it, and when the shock absorber leakage is serious, we will only It needs to be replaced in time.
Whether it is a slight oil leakage or a serious oil leakage, as long as the oil inside the shock absorber oil cavity is reduced, it will have a certain impact on the damping force of the filter. The response to the performance in the cab is that the vehicle The suspension becomes softer and the shock filtering effect becomes worse. At the same time, phenomena such as loose chassis and shock absorption abnormal noise occur. In severe cases, the shock absorber is very likely to be damaged due to bottoming out on large potholes.
