THE SHOCK-ABSORBER

The faulty shock-absorber can be defined to following signs:

  – Car rocking at movement on road with periodic roughnesses;
  – Not fading fluctuations of a body at movement on rough road;
  – Strong inclinations of the car at dispersal and braking;
  – Presence of knocks at car movement;
  – Insufficient coupling of a wheel of the car, especially on turns.

Check of a condition of the shock-absorber is made at the stand, however roughly the shock-absorber condition can be defined, extending and pressing a shock-absorber rod. Thus the effort to all length of a course of a rod of the shock-absorber should be uniform and identical, without extraneous noise.
