If the shock absorber makes an abnormal sound when the vehicle is driving on a bumpy road, it is very likely that the shock absorber is damaged. You can choose to go to the repair shop to repair the shock absorber.
4. Uneven tire wear
When the shock absorber is damaged, the wheel will vibrate unsteadily during driving, causing the wheel to tilt, etc., so that the part of the tire that contacts the ground is severely worn, and the part that is not in contact is not affected. Over time, an uneven wear shape is formed, the vehicle is unstable, and the bumpy discomfort is increased.

5. Abnormal temperature of shock absorber housing
After the car has been driving on rough roads for a period of time, touch the housing of each shock absorber with your hand to feel the temperature of the shock absorber. Under normal circumstances, the shock absorber housing is warm. If a shock absorber housing is cold but not hot, it means that the shock absorber is damaged. If the temperature is abnormal, you need to go to the repair shop to replace the shock absorber.
6. Abnormal body rebound
When the car is stopped, the owner presses down on the front of the car, and the body will go down. After releasing the hand, the body will rebound.

If the body vibrates repeatedly several times after rebounding, it means that there is a problem with the shock absorber. You can go to the repair shop in time to check the car and repair the shock absorber.
