Операция

The Unity Automotive 252410 Rear Gas Shock Absorber is designed to control spring and suspension movement, providing a smoother ride and improved vehicle stability. It dampens oscillations caused by road irregularities, enhancing tire contact with the road surface.

• Damping: The internal gas and hydraulic fluid work together to absorb kinetic energy from suspension movement, preventing excessive bouncing.
• Стабильность: Properly functioning shock absorbers reduce body roll during turns and nose-dive during braking, contributing to safer vehicle control.
• Комфорт: They significantly contribute to passenger comfort by minimizing vibrations and harsh impacts from the road.

New shock absorbers may feel slightly stiffer initially, which is a normal characteristic as they settle into operation.

Обслуживание

Regular inspection of your shock absorbers can help identify potential issues early and ensure continued safe operation.

• Визуальный осмотр: Periodically check for signs of fluid leaks around the shock body, bent or damaged rods, or cracked/worn bushings.
• Проверка шума: Listen for unusual noises (e.g., clunking, rattling) coming from the suspension, which could indicate worn or loose components.
• Проверка производительности: If you notice excessive vehicle bouncing after hitting bumps, poor handling, increased stopping distances, or uneven tire wear, have your suspension system inspected by a qualified technician.

Shock absorbers are sealed units and are not user-serviceable. If a defect or significant wear is found, replacement is necessary.

If you experience any of the following issues after installation or during normal operation, consider these potential causes:

• Issue: Excessive Bouncing or Poor Ride Quality
  • Возможная причина: Worn or defective shock absorber, or only one side replaced.
  • Решение: Inspect for leaks or damage. Ensure both rear shock absorbers were replaced simultaneously.
• Issue: Clunking or Rattling Noises from Suspension
  • Возможная причина: Loose mounting hardware, worn bushings, or internal shock damage.
  • Решение: Check all mounting bolts for proper torque. Inspect bushings for wear. If noise persists, professional inspection is advised.
