1.What Does Shock Absorber/Strut Do?

Shock absorber/ Strut is mainly used to restrain the shock when spring bounces after absorbing shock and the impact from the road surface.

Shock absorbers/Struts directly impact several key areas of vehicle performance, such as Stop distance, Driving comfort, Tire wear, Steering response, Handling, and the ability of the tires to grip the road surface.

It’s an important part of the suspension system,  if the shocks/struts are worn out, the vehicle’s ride and comfort are failed.

2. What is The Difference Between Shock& Strut?

The simple outlook difference is that strut is designed with a spring disc(seat), the shock absorber is without a Spring disc. You can find the below diagram of shocks and struts.

4. How to Distinguish the Defective Damper Indicator?

Here you can find some GDX SHOCK/STRUT examples of the defective damper indicator with the causes.

5. What is the Requires to Design the Shock/Strut Oil Seal.

The use of the harsh environment, the requirements of good oil resistance, water resistance, wear resistance, heat resistance, low-temperature resistance

◆ Material: nitrile rubber

Nbr-40 ℃ ~ 125 ℃

Hnbr-25 ℃ ~ 140 ℃

◆ Function: seal oil, dust, and gas

6. Why are Shock Absorbers/Struts so Important?

gdxauto Shock Absorbers and Components

 

✔  Improve vehicle’s smoothness:  Limit overall vehicle body movement

✔  Comfort lever of the vehicle: Make passengers less tired, the goods are not easily damaged.

✔  Reduce overall maintenance cost: Basically, absorb and deflect plenty of initial road impacts on the relevant parts of the vehicle and reduce the wear.

✔  Enhance the Vehiclevehicle’s safety:  The shock absorber or strut prevents a vehicle’s tire from hopping or bouncing in uneven or choppy terrain and helps to a vehicle tire planted firmly on the ground or road surface.

7.  When Should the Shocks/Struts be Replace?

      10 signs that tell you it’s time to replace New Shocks or Struts.

gdx shock absorbers and struts

The shock absorber or strut should be replaced at around 60,000-80,000 km on most vehicles.

✔  Abnormal noise of the chassis while driving.

✔  A streak of oil coming out exceeds 50mm onto the shock or strut body.

✔  Excessively Bouncing up and down on the shock/strut. Even after you stop, the vehicle continues to bounce.

A big gap between the mount kits. Wearing out of the piston and connecting rod.

✔  Unusual tire wear. It is usually visible on a tire as hopscotch marks (or cupping). 

✔  Worn out protection kits( dust cover boots&bumpers) of shock or strut.

The suspension heights on the left and right sides are inconsistent.

✔  Wheel imbalance and other worn suspension components such as the control arm, tie rods, bushing, cv axles, steering arms, ball joints are loose, cracked, or broken.

✔  Large braking distances and less control when cornering or caught in a crosswind.

As a shocks/struts manufacturer, GDXAUTO recommends that shock absorbers/struts should be checked annually or every 20,000 km (12,000 miles) by a qualified mechanic.

Replace it every 5 years/50Km to maintain OPTIMUM suspension & braking characteristics. Going longer will mean degraded handling and braking characteristics.

Simply speaking, you are supposed to replace it when you feel your vehicle is very bouncy or when the suspension isn’t absorbing the road impact anymore.

8. Are Leaking Shocks/ Struts Supposed to be Replaced?

To be frank, shock absorbers/ struts with only little oil leakage, are unnecessary to replace.

We can not judge the shock/strut has failed due to oil leakage, it could be affected by many factors such as leakage grade and oil leaking position of the shocks/struts body.

It is normal for the shock absorber to leak oil during normal working. For example, the front shock absorber, which is a strut shock absorber does not need to be replaced when the oil is between the oil seal cover and the spring seat.

However, if the oil leaks to the position below the spring seat, or the oil streams to the position below the spring bracket, or drops of oil appear, we need to replace it.

9. Why Shock absorbers/ Struts Should be Replaced in Pairs?

complete strut assembly

 

To ensure a safe and comfortable ride, the shocks/ struts always be replaced in pairs.

When you replace the shock absorbers/struts, remember to replace completely the protection kits (bumper stop and dust cover), mounting kits, and the springs at the same time.

Unless the vehicle has a very tiny number of miles on it, the old one is always more worn than the new shock absorber. So the damping force is different from side to side. It could lead to alignment/tire wear/vehicle stability issues down the road.

In addition, it will cause the newer shock/strut to wear out much faster than expected because this new shock has to work harder to make up for the old worn shock.

GDXAUTO would be happy to provide the best shock absorber and suspension solution for your needs.
