Shock Absorber FAQ

A good shock absorber has qualities such as effective damping, stable suspension performance, durability, and the ability to adapt to different road conditions and driving styles.

The replacement interval for shock absorbers varies depending on the vehicle usage. It is generally recommended to have them inspected every 20,000 to 40,000 miles and replace them as needed based on the actual condition.

Shock absorbers play a crucial role in the vehicle's suspension system and ride comfort. They reduce bouncing and vibrations, provide stability in the suspension, and protect the vehicle and passengers from the impact of uneven road surfaces.

Yes, new shock absorbers can improve the ride quality. They provide better damping, reduce bouncing and vibrations, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Yes, shock absorbers can develop leaks. This can be caused by worn or damaged seals. If any signs of fluid leakage are observed, it is recommended to replace the shock absorbers to ensure proper damping performance.

Symptoms of shock absorber damage include excessive bouncing or swaying during driving, uneven tire wear, a noticeable decrease in handling and braking performance, and a harsh or uncomfortable ride.
