Is it dangerous to drive with the shock absorber broken?

The most common failure of the shock absorber is oil leakage. Once the shock absorber leaks oil, the pressure of the internal hydraulic system will lose balance, and the shock absorption effect will drop or disappear. Among them, the vibration frequency and amplitude of the shock absorbing spring are too fast and too large, so that the car may lose control, which is very dangerous to drive.
When a shock absorber is damaged, the corresponding wheel is equivalent to no shock absorber or the shock absorber is too soft, so that the shock absorption effect of the vehicle body will be greatly reduced, and at the same time the adhesion between the wheel and the ground will be reduced. When encountering bumpy road conditions or cornering, the wheel will leave the ground, and the car may lose control.
The main function of the automobile shock absorber is to suppress the shock when the spring rebounds after absorbing the shock and the impact from the road. When the car passes through uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing spring can filter the vibration of the road surface, the spring itself will reciprocate, and the shock absorber is used to suppress this spring jumping. Therefore, the shock absorber is damping the vibration of the projectile, not the body. In addition, when replacing the shock absorber, the shock absorbers of the two wheels on the same axis are generally replaced at the same time. Otherwise, the damping effects of the two shock absorbers are different, which will lead to inconsistent left and right steering feel of the car, and inconsistent body roll, which will not only affect the ride comfort, but more seriously affect the handling of the car, making the car It is difficult to control when changing lanes, overtaking and cornering at high speed, which increases the risk of driving.
