Separate maintenance of the suspension

 

Due to the increasing requirements of modern people for ride comfort and handling stability, non-independent suspension systems have gradually been eliminated. The independent suspension system is widely used by automobile manufacturers because of its good wheel touch ability, greatly improved riding comfort and handling stability, free movement of left and right wheels, large degree of freedom between tires and ground, and good vehicle handling. Common independent suspension systems have multi-link suspension systems, MacPherson suspension systems, towing arm suspension systems, and so on.

Why should the suspension be serviced separately? Because the chassis is mainly eroded by mud, gravel and so on in daily life, especially on rainy days, after a long period of driving, mud is pasted on the suspension. Many careless novices do not pay attention to slowing down when crossing speed bumps and potholes. This impact on the suspension for a long time is relatively large, and over time it will seriously affect the service life of shock absorbers, springs and their internal brackets. Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain the suspension separately.

How do I maintain my suspension?

After we replace the brake pads, we should check whether the brake pedal returns normally, and pay attention to prevent the foot pad from sliding under the brake pedal during daily driving, so as not to press the brakes to death. Under normal circumstances, the shock absorber will heat up when working, if it does not heat up, the shock absorber is leaking oil.

In daily use, pay attention to check whether the vehicle is misaligned when braking, how effective the braking is, and how effective the parking brake (handbrake) is. When performing vehicle maintenance, the brake system must first check the brake oil, such as whether the brake pipe is ruptured, whether the brake fluid is leaking, etc. The brake pedal is also a component to pay attention to. When the car is driving, every time it vibrates up and down, the suspension system will make a “click” sound, and the sound will intensify when the road surface is uneven, indicating that the suspension system has failed, which may be damage to the shock absorber or broken rubber sleeve of the shock absorber. Brake systemBrake fluid cannot be mixed At present, most cars on the market are equipped with two sets of braking systems: foot-controlled service brakes (brakes) and hand-controlled parking brakes (handbrake). If the rubber sleeve is badly damaged, it should be repaired and replaced together with the shock absorber. The suspension system shock absorber should heat up when working The suspension system not only affects the ride comfort (ride) of the car, but also affects other properties such as passability, stability and adhesion performance. It turns out that the suspension system contains shock absorbers, springs, anti-roll bars, connecting rods and other mechanical parts. When cornering, especially sharp turns, the body rolls too much, indicating damage to shock absorbers, stabilizer bars, or guide components.

When replacing the brake oil, be sure to drain the original brake oil, can not be mixed, and the brake oil can not be mixed with air. Generally speaking, the degree of wear of brake pads has a lot to do with the use of habits, the brake pads of the automatic transmission car are used more than the cost of manual transmission, generally more than 20,000 kilometers later, every time you do maintenance, you must check the sprinkler brake pads. This allows for better protection of the suspension system.
