Shock absorbers have a significant impact on the comfort of our driving. Generally speaking, when parts are broken, they need to be inspected and repaired. So, can a broken shock absorber be repaired?

Shock absorbers are disposable items. If they are really broken, they cannot be repaired and can only be replaced.

What is the function of shock absorbers?

Shock absorbers can reduce the vibrations on the left and right, front and back, and up and down of the vehicle body, providing support for the smooth driving of the vehicle.

Shock absorbers maximize the vehicle's grip performance by controlling the movement of springs, which helps improve the vehicle's grip performance, passenger comfort, handling performance and vehicle operability.

It can also affect roll control and handling performance, increase vehicle body stability, and improve driving smoothness. At the same time, it plays an important role in braking distance and driving stability.

How to check the condition of shock absorbers?

First, check if the shock absorber is leaking oil. If oil leakage has occurred, it indicates that the shock absorber has been damaged and must be replaced.

Second, temperature measurement. Shock absorbers work frequently during vehicle operation, especially on uneven roads. Some of the kinetic energy of the shock absorbers' vibrations is converted into thermal energy. Therefore, when shock absorbers are working, there is temperature on their surfaces. When the shock absorber is not in operation, the surface temperature will be lower than when it is working.

Third, the pressing method. When two adult men simultaneously hold onto one corner of a vehicle and release it at the same time, and the vehicle bounces back but does not move downward, it indicates that the shock absorber is in good condition. When the vehicle body rebounds after being released, going down and up again, it indicates that the damping force of this shock absorber has been basically lost. At this point, it is necessary to consider whether it needs to be replaced.

Note that the above three methods can be used for the testing of hydraulic shock absorbers, but are not applicable to electronically controllable electromagnetic shock absorbers and air spring shock absorbers. Electromagnetic shock absorbers and air spring shock absorbers should be operated under the guidance of professionals.

Why can't shock absorbers be repaired?

Shock absorbers are products used under high pressure. To replace the components inside, disassembly is required. After disassembly, the sealing property of the shock absorber will be damaged, and the probability of repair is very low.

Therefore, shock absorbers can only be replaced and not repaired.
