When rubber shock absorber pads fail, they exhibit clear symptoms that impact vehicle performance and safety:
1.Audible Noises
Metallic knocking or creaking sounds when passing over bumps, speed bumps, or uneven roads.
Abnormal vibrations transmitted to the steering wheel or chassis.
2.Handling Issues
Steering becomes heavy or unresponsive, with a tendency to drift or pull to one side.
Reduced stability during turns, causing excessive body roll.
3.Comfort Degradation
Harsh ride quality due to diminished vibration absorption.
Increased road noise (e.g., loud “thumping” sounds).
4.Tire Wear Abnormalities
Uneven tire tread patterns (e.g., feathering or cupping) caused by misalignment.
