How to choose the suitable shock absorber (coilover) for your car
Matching skills 1. Check whether the product provides 2-3 inch elevation requirements. Some products only provide 2 inches elevation. After barely using 3 inches elevation, it is easy to pull to the limit in off-road and cause damage. Second, whether the diameter of the central telescopic rod of the shock absorber can reach more than 16 mm, which is a basic indicator of strength. Third, whether the upper and lower connecting sleeves of the shock absorber are high-strength polyurethane sleeves, which is also an important basis for ensuring long-term high-strength use, because ordinary rubber is difficult to use for a long time under high strength. The shock absorber is mainly used to suppress the shock and the impact from the road surface when the spring rebounds after absorbing the shock. When passing on uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing spring can filter the vibration of the road, the spring itself will reciprocate, and the shock absorber is used to suppress the jump of this spring. If the shock absorber is too soft, the body will jump up and down. If the shock absorber is too hard, it will bring too much resistance and prevent the spring from working properly. Shi Xiaohui said that in the process of modifying the suspension system, the hard shock absorber should be matched with the hard spring, and the hardness of the spring is closely related to the weight of the car, so heavier cars generally use harder shock absorbers. It is necessary to constantly try during the modification to design the best combination of shock absorber and spring. Professional modification shops can generally find the best match for the car owner. Oil leak failure If an automobile shock absorber leaks oil, it is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing for the shock absorber. Then, once an
