* Recommended replacement cycle:
20.000km: Please check your shock absorber
80.000km: Need to replace your shock absorber
100.000km: Please replace your shock absorber as soon as possible
* The following methods can be used to check whether the shock absorber works well:
1. Under normal circumstances, oil leakage in the shock absorber means that there is a problem with your shock absorber. You should repair it at this time to avoid abnormal operation of the shock absorber.
2. Press the bumper firmly, and then release it. If the car jumps 2 or 3 times , it means that the shock absorber is working well.
3. When the car is driving slowly and braking urgently, if the car vibrates violently , it means there is a problem with the shock absorber.
4. The car stops after driving 10km on the road with poor road conditions and touches the outer shell with your hands. If the temperature is not high enough , it means that there is no resistance inside the shock absorber and the shock absorber does not work.
At this time you should know if it is time to replace the shock absorber

* Frequently Asked Questions:
1.What shocks and struts do?
2.Can I Drive With a Broken Strut?
A strut is a suspension component that dampens an automobile\'s movements and prevents it from bouncing on its springs. Struts are often expensive to replace, but driving on a broken strut is not a good idea
3.Can worn shocks or struts cause my new tires to wear unevenly?
Absolutely: shocks and struts provide damping force to control tire movement. When the tires move excessively, they develop a “cupping” wear pattern that damages the tire
Other factors such as incorrect air pressure, worn suspension components or improperly aligned steering also causes uneven tire wear
4.Shall we choose to replace the normal shock absorber or the direct shock absorber assembly?
From the perspective of the difficulty of replacement, it is difficult to replace an independent shock absorber, requires professional equipment and technicians, and has a high risk factor
5.What are the benefits after replacing the shock absorber?
Buffer conveys shock to drivers and passengers in order to improve ride comfort and reduce fatigue
Extend body life, prevent spring damage and improve braking effect
Suppressing the rapid vibration of the wheels while driving, preventing the tires from leaving the road surface and improving the driving stability
Improving driving stability and adjustability, effectively conveying engine deflagration pressure to the ground, so as to save fuel costs
6.What happens if I do not replace worn out shocks and struts?
Tires will wear out prematurely, the vehicle becomes more difficult to stop, steer and maintain tire contact with the road. The vehicle will be difficult to control and unpleasant to drive. The ability of the driver to make emergency maneuvers and stops is compromised
7.Why should I buy a complete strut assembly instead of replacing the bare strut only?
8.Why should I replace complete strut assembly in PAIR?
It is generally recommended to replace shocks and struts in pairs for the front or rear of the vehicle.This practice ensures that the repair schedule for the left and ride sides are harmonized
* Precautions for replacing the shock absorber:
3. Professional tools must be used during installation, and the shock absorber must not be forcibly installed
5. During the assembly process, be sure to protect the surface of the piston rod, and avoid using tools to pull the piston rod or bump or scratch the piston rod, otherwise the shock absorber will leak oil
6. All nuts should be new and tightened according to the specified parameters of the vehicle to ensure that the tightening torque of the connection part meets the specified parameters of the vehicle
7. When tightening the nuts of the connecting part, it should be carried out in the natural state of the tire and meet the specified parameters of the vehicle
