Shock absorber strut

Function:

It can alleviate the impact of road surface, quickly absorb the vibration generated by turbulence, so that the vehicle can return to normal driving state, and improve the smoothness and comfort of the car.

The following problems occur in the vehicle and the strut needs to be replaced:

(1)The car makes abnormal noises (tapping, rattling)

(2)Oil leakage.

(3)Frequent and irregular tire wear.

(4)Poor stability will make you feel very uncomfortable.

(5)The brake takes more time/distance to stop.

(6)The car is difficult to control.

Typical removal and replacement steps of the struts and springs after the struts are independent with coil springs mounted on the struts:

1. Remove the rear seat and package trim tray, remove the wheel cover and loosen the nut.

2. Use a jack to lift the vehicle and place the chassis in a safe position.

3. Place a floor jack lifting pad and raise the floor jack to support the weight of the suspension system.

4. Remove the rear tire, the small spring nut of the lower arm, the brake hose on the struts and the anti-lock braking system wire.

5. Remove the Sway bar from the struts and loosen the bolt from the struts to the spindle.

6. Remove the three supporting nuts under the packaging decoration tray, lower the jack, remove the steering knuckle bolts from the struts to the bottom of the struts and the struts.

7. Install the spring compression tool according to the vehicle and manufacturer's recommended instructions and tighten the tool until all spring tension is removed, then remove the prop rod nut.

8. Remove the struts rod nut, upper bracket and upper insulator.

9. Remove the support from the lower end of the spring and check the lower insulator and spring seat on the strut. if the spring seat is warped or damaged, replace the strut.

10. Check the upper installation, insulators and spring bumpers. If there is damage, wear and deformation, they need to be replaced in time.

11. Assemble spring bumpers, upper mounting parts and insulators when the vehicle is driving on irregular roads. Then use the compression tool to decompress the coil spring, install the support and related parts to the spring and tighten all fasteners to the torque specified by the manufacturer.

12. "Road test" your vehicle immediately to ensure proper installation.

When driving slowly over speed bumps, rough roads, or potholes, listen and feel for common signs of installation errors.
