5 mistakes motorists make that cause shock absorbers to break

Each car and, moreover, each unit of the car has its own service life. Of course, some actions of motorists significantly accelerate the wear of elements. For example, shock absorbers, which get almost the most while driving a car.

1. Bad road recklessness

It is strongly not recommended to drive at high speed on a section of the road with strong unevenness. Overcoming problem areas with increased speed leads to the fact that shock absorbers wear out an order of magnitude faster. This also applies to some other nodes, moreover, there is a direct danger of instantaneous damage to something.

2. "Jumping" obstacles

The situation is very similar to the one described above. Overcoming obstacles such as curbs or speed bumps at high speed damages the vehicle's shock absorbers. For most car models, the speed in such a situation should be reduced to at least 20 km / h.

Driving fast even on the best road still has an extremely negative effect on the "health" of the shock absorbers. Why? Because this device in the car acts (as you know) as a vibration damper. When driving at high speed (primarily over 100 km / h), the vibrations of the car are much stronger.

4. Riding cold

In a cold state, some of the important elements of shock absorbers lose their elasticity, which subsequently does not have the best effect on the operation of the entire unit. This does not mean that every morning when starting the car, you need to warm up each shock absorber with an industrial hair dryer, however the first few kilometers, it is better to drive slowly and try not to overcome obstacles that create a huge load on device.

Mud is useful only when visiting the special baths in the sanatorium. When it comes to a car, any dirt is harmful. Shock absorbers are the best example in this regard. First of all, any pollution impairs heat dissipation. It also seals the stem and can even get into the hydraulic fluid, eventually causing damage.
