Oil and gas oil shock absorbers, shock absorber strut

Sooner or later, any car will require a shock absorber replacement. This part is not eternal, especially with our road surface. When buying it, every car owner should know for what purposes it will be used in the future.

The shock absorber arm is the most important part in the suspension of any car. It performs a very important function: it keeps the adhesion of the tires to the roadway. Of course, with the replacement of the shock absorber rack, you can wait, but this is very dangerous.

Even with a worn out shock absorber, the driver will feel that the car is fully serviceable and functional. But do not forget that the tires in this case will no longer maintain the necessary grip on the road. If you feel any discomfort when you are in the car (for example, constant shaking, incomprehensible vibration, strange knocking while driving through pits and other uneven surfaces), then a malfunction has occurred in the shock absorber and it should be replaced.

Faulty suspension parts affect the safety of driving, and significantly accelerate the wear of other parts of the running gear of the car. So do not save on them.

By design, all shock absorbers are divided into oil, gas and hydraulic.

So what are the shock absorbers worth buying, and how to choose the right brand? It all depends on the operating conditions of the car. If the road along which the car drives has so many holes, cracks and other irregularities in the roadway, it is best to install oil shock absorbers. They, in comparison with gas, are quite soft.

Gas-oil shock absorbers are more stringent than conventional oil ones. Thanks to such rigidity, the car becomes more stable at high speeds. Also, rigidity significantly reduces the risk of "aquaplaning" during the movement.

Gas-filled shock absorber strut is absolutely not afraid of low temperatures. At the same time, its depreciation properties do not change. In comparison with oil, gas shock absorbers have a greater service life. Many motorists before buying are interested in the question of how to distinguish the original Struts shock absorbers from counterfeit. After all, not always a sticker saves from low-quality goods. Often, the original shock absorber strut is sold at specialized auto parts sales points. It is here that the risk of acquiring a defective product is close to zero.

Some car owners are trying to save on the purchase of spare parts, buying completely the wrong model that is needed. This action directly leads to a deterioration in the controllability of the car, respectively, to a decrease in the level of safety of trips.

Do not forget that the shock absorber strut is a key part in the suspension of each car. It should be checked carefully and in a timely manner and, if necessary, replaced. Replacement of shock absorbers prevents premature wear of other suspension parts, as well as tires.
