The car shock absorber is a part mounted on the car chassis. As the name suggests, it is used to absorb shock.
In short, when the car passes through some uneven roads, the shock absorber can reduce the feeling of bumps in the car, and can also effectively maintain the smoothness of the car.
However, car shock absorbers also have a useful life, and they may malfunction after a period of use.
Let's teach you how to check the working condition of car shock absorbers.
A good way to judge whether the car's shock absorber is damaged is to drive at a low speed on flat ground, and then suddenly brake, if you feel that the car shakes very badly, that means there is a problem with the shock absorber. Or when driving on a bumpy road, the human body feels a strong sense of turbulence, it may also be that the shock absorber is not working well. At this time, you should go to the 4S shop in time to have a professional inspect it.
If you want to check the shock absorber, you can first fix the lower end of the shock absorber on a vise and stretch and compress it several times by hand. The normal shock absorber should have a certain damping force, and the resistance to extension should be Greater than the resistance during compression. If it is unstable or there is no resistance, the shock absorber may be out of oil or the parts are damaged, and should be repaired or replaced with new parts.
If only one shock absorber is broken, it is recommended to replace the left and right shock absorbers together. It is useless to change one separately. Another way to check whether the car shock absorber has good working efficiency is to press the bumper of the car a few times. If the car can bounce two or three times, it means that the car shock absorber works very well. Problems, and vice versa, there are problems.
