🚗  Family, the shock absorbers of a car are a major issue related to driving safety and comfort! Today let's talk about the pitfalls that need to be avoided when replacing shock absorbers. Hurry up and save them!

🚨  Misconception 1: If there is no oil leakage, there is no need to replace it

Many people believe that as long as the shock absorber does not leak oil, it can continue to be used. But the damping material in the shock absorber will age over time, and even if there is no oil leakage, its performance may be greatly reduced. The comfort and safety of driving will be affected, so don't just look at the surface!

🚨  Misconception 2: Blind DIY Parameter Adjustment

Some friends like to adjust the hardness and height of the shock absorbers by themselves, thinking that this can make the car more personalized. But without professional knowledge and equipment, it is easy to backfire, causing the suspension system to become unbalanced, the handling to deteriorate, and even the shock absorbers to break prematurely, posing a great safety hazard!

🚨  Misconception 3: Neglecting four-wheel alignment after replacement

After replacing the shock absorbers, the suspension system parameters of the vehicle will change. If the four-wheel alignment is not done in a timely manner, the tires will wear out and the car will run off center, which not only affects driving performance and safety, but also shortens tire life.

🚨  Misconception 4: Price only Theory

When choosing shock absorbers, only consider the price and think it's good if it's cheap. But cheap goods are not good! Low priced shock absorbers often have defects in materials and craftsmanship, poor performance, short lifespan, and may be replaced frequently in the later stages, resulting in higher costs.

🚨  Misconception 5: Ignoring other suspension components

When replacing shock absorbers, only focus on the shock absorber itself, ignoring other suspension components such as springs, swing arms, ball joints, etc. But in reality, these components and shock absorbers are interdependent, and problems with other components can also affect the performance of the shock absorbers.

🚨  Misconception 6: Superstition towards the original factory

Some people believe that original shock absorbers are the best and do not consider other brands and types. But now there are many high-quality third-party shock absorber products on the market, with performance and quality that are not inferior to the original factory, or even better. You can choose according to your own needs and the actual usage of the car!

Dear friends, remember these misconceptions and keep our beloved cars in their best condition, safely and comfortably accompanying us on our travels! 🚀
