If the car is shock absorbed, it is not recommended to continue driving, and it is recommended to replace or repair it as soon as possible. The shock absorber of the car chassis suspension is to counteract the energy of the spring deformation, rather than directly dampening the body. Shock absorption and springs mainly affect our comfort, stability and handling on the road, so the serious situation of shock absorption must affect our driving safety.
Here is a brief explanation of the role of vehicle shock absorbers and springs.
1. The shock absorption of the original car is one-way shock absorption, which repeatedly bounces in the spring extension and contraction deformation, and the shock absorber produces a damping effect when the spring rebounds.
At this time, the role of the shock absorber is reflected, and the shock absorption is used to suppress the potential energy generated after the shock absorption of the counteractor spring. Shock absorbers are used to control the spring bounce in the ideal primary state.
Let the car in the high-speed lane change, overtaking, turning, cornering and other driving states and in the winding rugged, high and low potholed, special road surface generated by the bouncing shock is controlled, to avoid reducing the grip of the tire, thereby losing the vehicle trackability, resulting in driving safety.
2. The spring is mainly used to eliminate the impact and vibration caused by the undulating bounce of the vehicle during the driving process, and the use of shock absorption and shock absorption, the wheel bounce quickly returns to normal position, thereby ensuring the stability of the body.
What are the conditions that indicate that the shock absorber has been damaged:
1. Oil leakage occurs in the shock absorber of the car. If the shock absorber is leaking oil, the vehicle's handling performance is reduced and most likely accompanied by abnormal noise, so it is recommended to repair or replace it as soon as possible.
2. The car runs out during the driving process, and it is obvious that the spring bounces off, and there is a strange noise when braking.
3. The car driving on the winding road produces a relatively strong shake, the tire loses its traceability, and the car has a tail flicking phenomenon
4. The shock absorber is set up to clamp the lower end of the connection ring on the tongs, and the shock absorber is repeatedly stretched and compressed, at this time, the resistance of upward stretching should be greater than the resistance of downward compression, if the resistance is unstable or no resistance, it proves that the shock absorber is damaged
5. The car brakes emergencily on the safe road at a relatively reduced speed, check whether the brake nodding phenomenon of the car is serious, if the height of the front and head is large, it indicates that there is a problem with shock absorption.
6. Drive the car on the uneven road for 10-20 kilometers, use your hands to perceive the warmth of the shock absorber barrel, if it does not heat up, it means that the shock absorption may be lack of oil or damage to the main parts, and the shock absorption effect has been lost
7. Observe the shock absorber tappet and barrel body, if the shock core has scratches and shock absorption has grooves, often accompanied by oil seepage, the shock absorber has been damaged.
The advantages and disadvantages of the vehicle shock absorption system directly affect the driving comfort of the car, so the car should try to avoid violent driving in the daily driving process, properly decelerate when passing the speed reduction belt, and the shock absorber should often be in a good working state to extend the service life of the shock absorber. However, if there is a problem, it must be repaired and replaced in time.
This is also why many riders prefer to convert the shock absorber of the original car into a shock absorber suitable for their usual road conditions after driving the car for a period of time to improve the driving experience.
