Since the average annual distance of the car is 20,000 kilometers, and the shock absorber needs to be replaced in pairs, the replacement frequency is obtained every 4 years. The replacement frequency will vary depending on the car condition, road condition, and shock absorber manufacturer. When driving a certain number of kilometers, we should take corresponding measures to ensure our driving safety.

20.000km: Please check your shock absorber

80.000km: Need to replace your shock absorber

100.000km: Please return your shock absorber as soon as possible

The following methods can be used to check whether the shock absorber works well

1. Under normal circumstances, oil leakage in the shock absorber means that there is a problem with your shock absorber. It would help if you repaired it at this time to avoid the abnormal operation of the shock absorber.

2. Press the bumper firmly, and then release it. If the car jumps 2 or 3 times, the shock absorber is working well.

3. When the car is driving slowly and braking urgently if it vibrates violently, it means there is a problem with the shock absorber.

4. The car stops after driving 10km in poor road conditions and touches the outer shell with your hands. If the temperature is not high enough, there is no resistance inside the shock absorber and the shock absorber does not work.

At this time you should know if it is time to replace the shock absorber.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do shocks and struts do?

They keep the tires from bouncing which causes loss of road contact and they also keep the vehicle body weight from shifting and rolling which causes a loss of vehicle control and handling. You could say their main job is to resist tire and vehicle body motion. When shocks and struts work well, the vehicle maintains traction on the road and has optimum stability in every driving condition: stopping, turning, swerving, and over bumps and potholes.

2. Shall we replace the standard shock absorber or the direct shock absorber assembly?

From the perspective of the difficulty of replacement, it is difficult to replace an independent shock absorber, requires professional equipment and technicians, and has a high-risk factor.

From the price point of view, the individual parts of the shock absorber kit are expensive to replace. In contrast, the shock absorber assembly contains all the details of the shock absorber system, which is cheaper than replacing all the parts of the shock absorber.

3. What are the benefits of replacing the shock absorber?

Buffer conveys shock to drivers and passengers to improve ride comfort and reduce fatigue.

Extend body life, prevent spring damage, and improve the braking effect.

They are suppressing the rapid vibration of the wheels while driving, preventing the tires from leaving the road surface and improving driving stability.

We are improving driving stability and adjustability, effectively conveying engine deflagration pressure to the ground, to save fuel costs.

4. What happens if I do not replace worn-out shocks and struts?

Tires will wear out prematurely, and the vehicle becomes more difficult to stop, steer and maintain tire contact with the road. The vehicle will be difficult to control and unpleasant to drive. The ability of the driver to make emergency maneuvers and stops is compromised.

Precautions for replacing the shock absorber

1. When installing a new shock absorber, you should pay attention to whether the model matches, please pay attention to the matching model list before purchasing, and confirm whether the left and right are correct.

2. Check the quality status of the new shock absorber, such as whether there is oil leakage in the appearance, etc., and pay special attention to the surface of the piston not being bumped.

3. Professional tools must be used during installation, and the shock absorber must not be forcibly installed.

4. Pay attention to whether the installation position between the shock absorber and the body and the car is correct.

5. During the assembly process, be sure to protect the surface of the piston rod, and avoid using tools to pull the piston rod or bump or scratch the piston rod, otherwise, the shock absorber will leak oil.

6. All nuts should be new and tightened according to the specified parameters of the vehicle to ensure that the tightening torque of the connection part meets the specified parameters of the vehicle.

7. When tightening the nuts of the connecting part, it should be carried out in the natural state of the tire and meet the specified parameters of the vehicle.
