How often do I replace the shock absorber?
This problem should not be well understood by novices, but many people know that coil springs have the function of filtering vibration and buffering vibration, and the same is true when applied to automobile shock absorption. But most people think that the car shock absorber is a special spring with particularly good material. If you think so, I want to correct your wrong point of view.
How often do I replace the shock absorber?
In fact, the shock absorber is not equal to the spring. People who have played with the spring know that the compressed spring will rebound immediately, then compress and rebound, and continue to move back and forth, that is, produce the spring jump. When the vehicle passes through the uneven road surface with potholes or buffer belts, it will be impacted by the road surface, the spring will compress and absorb the shock, and produce a certain spring jump. If this situation is not stopped, the car will bump with the spring, and the driver and passengers will be particularly uncomfortable. Therefore, the shock absorber is a device that can restrain the spring jump, absorb part of the impact force from the road, and finally make the car recover smoothly in the fastest time. The damping of different shock absorbers has different inhibitory effects on the reciprocating motion of the spring. If the damping is small, the inhibitory effect is small, and if the damping is large, the inhibitory effect is large.
Some readers should wonder why the shock absorber on the other side also broke two months after the new shock absorber was installed. Is it because the new shock absorber makes the balance force of the car uneven. I have reservations about this point of view, but during the inspection, the master said that the service life of the shock absorber is up and belongs to normal loss, so it is not difficult to think that the shock absorber on the other side of the front wheel needs to be replaced only when the service life of the shock absorber is up.
