Can a Shock Absorber Leak Be Repaired?

Jun 01 , 2022

The shock absorber has a great influence on the comfort of our driving. Generally speaking, the parts need to be repaired if they are broken. Can the oil leakage of the shock absorber really be repaired? Although it is always cheaper to repair than to replace a new one, shock absorber of the air ride suspension system is a one-time item. If it is really broken, it cannot be repaired and can only be replaced. However, the oil leakage of the shock absorber is not necessarily the shock absorber. It's broken, but it can still be repaired.


Ⅰ. The oil leakage of the shock absorber can be repaired


The oil leakage of the shock absorber does not necessarily mean that it is broken. When the shock absorber works at a high temperature for a long time during normal operation, the oil will volatilize and condense, showing the phenomenon of oil leakage, which is normal. In addition, for some detachable shock absorbers, oil seals and gaskets are damaged and fail. This oil leakage can be repaired, and only new seals need to be replaced.


If the shock absorber fails due to oil leakage, it will not only affect the driving comfort, but also have a great impact on the handling of the car, and will affect the normal operation of other components in the suspension, and even reduce the service life, so when the shock absorber wholesale oil leaks, we still have to repair and replace it properly.


Ⅱ. The method of judging whether the shock absorber fails


1. Park the car on a flat place, press the body hard, and the body can rebound no more than 2-3 times, which is normal; the vibration up and down cannot stop quickly, which means that the shock absorber is invalid and needs to be replaced.


2. When the shock absorber is in the upright state, push and pull the whole process by hand for 5-8 times, and judge by the feeling of the last 2-3 times of pushing and pulling. If you feel that the damping force of the shock absorber is normal, the shock absorber is normal; if you feel the shock absorption If the damping force of the shock absorber is abnormal, it is very likely that the shock absorber has failed and needs to be replaced.


3. The shock absorber has a warranty period, generally according to the number of kilometers or years. If it is within the warranty period, it can be replaced for free. If the warranty period is over, it can only be replaced at your own expense, but It is recommended not to go to the 4s store, but to find a big company to replace the brand shock absorber. The quality is not necessarily worse than the original one. Although it is the original part to go to the 4s store, it is too expensive.
