The shock-absorber – one of components of a suspension bracket of the car. It is responsible for mitigating spring oscillations on road bumps. He is responsible for stability during maneuvers and turns. One shock absorber is designed for a distance of 40 to 150 thousand km. In some cases, the part may fail much earlier and then urgent replacement of the shock absorbers is required.
If your car has become less maneuverable, there are uncharacteristic sounds in the area of the shock absorber rack when hitting a hole or a mound, contact our service station. Our masters will carry out diagnostics and qualitatively carry out replacement of automobile shock-absorbers in Kiev at the favorable price.
Causes of failure
One of the main causes of breakdowns is the quality of roads. Different types of shock absorbers are designed for certain conditions. For example, gas models are used off-road, and oil – on a smooth flat road (both are used in different conditions). Also, the difference in work is observed in different seasons. Yes, in winter, the oil type of shock absorber works worse and if you use the car too intensively after a long downtime, it can simply fail.
To extend the service life, it is necessary to monitor the condition of bumpers and anthers. You can not replace only one pair of shock absorbers, because the work of new and old in tandem may not give the desired result. For example, if you need to replace one of the rear shock absorbers, the other must be replaced.
Do not worry, if you can not determine the fault and repair the car, contact our car service. We will accurately determine the breakdown and eliminate it, the price of replacing the shock absorbers in our service station will pleasantly surprise you.
Why it is necessary to replace the shock absorbers
There can be several reasons to replace the shock absorber:
- Untimely replacement of broken bumpers and subsequent excessive wear.
- Defects of the upper support, such as deformations or holes.
- Untimely seals or valve mechanism changed.
It may also be necessary to install new shock absorbers due to incorrectly installed parts of the system, which will lead to excessive wear and aging. Therefore, to avoid such difficulties and save further, it is better to contact a proven service station to replace the shock absorbers.
Diagnosis of a condition of shock-absorbers
Experienced motorists know that there are several ways to assess the condition of the shock absorbers: visually or by rocking. In the conditions of HUNDRED, diagnostics is carried out more carefully. It includes bench diagnostics, determination of heating power and other procedures.
Naturally, self-inspection is the most inaccurate way, because even an experienced specialist can not always detect the breakdown by eye, with the help of equipment and machinery. Diagnosis of shock absorbers in car service – the best and most accurate way to determine the life of the shock absorber.
The procedure of diagnosis and repair takes only 1-2 hours
Replacement of shock-absorber accessories
The shock absorber includes a large number of smaller spare parts. In most cases, it is the wear and tear of a small individual part. Consider the most common failures among the components of the shock absorbers:
- Racks. They connect the body with the wheels, their supports are coupled to the springs and damper. Supports promote the correct distribution of loads and provide stability.
- Bearings. Not all models are equipped with them, but if they are, then the bearings have a large amount of load.
- Bushings. Attach the shock absorber to the bearing body parts. This part absorbs all the vibration and shock of the wheels, and if when driving on a rough road there is a specific sound of impact on the metal – the bushings need to be changed.
- Supports. Spare part consisting of rubber and metal parts. Almost all the load that the suspension gives the body part, is accounted for by the support. They are also responsible for vibration and noise insulation of the cabin. If the body began to shake or you hear extraneous sounds, it’s time to change the supports.
- Silent blocks. Shock absorbers are attached to them, so the parts wear out quickly. Replacement of silentblocks separately is carried out less often, than previous details and in some cases becomes together with replacement of shock-absorbers.
