visual inspection
Check the appearance of the shock absorber regularly. Check for any oil stains seeping out, as oil stains may indicate damage to the shock absorber seal, resulting in leakage of shock absorber fluid. If oil stains are found on the surface of the shock absorber, further inspection is required to see if the performance of the shock absorber has been affected.
At the same time, check whether the shell of the shock absorber is dented, deformed or scratched. These physical damages may affect the normal operation of the shock absorber. For example, the shell denting may cause increased friction on internal components or hinder the normal expansion and contraction of the shock absorber.
Connection parts inspection
Check where the shock absorber connects to the frame and cab. Check for loose bolts, and use a torque wrench to check and tighten the connecting bolts to ensure that their torque meets the values specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Also check whether the rubber bushing at the connection is aging or cracking. The aging of the rubber bushing will affect the shock absorption effect and ride comfort. If the rubber bushing is found to have obvious cracks or hardening, it should be replaced in time.
