Symptoms of fatigue of the means:

- Vehicle low, or inclined forwards, backwards, or in lateral form.

- Excessive wearing down in the shock absorbers, lozenges, ends of direction and bushings.

- Wearing down uneven of the rubber tops of the suspension.

- Wearing down uneven of the tires.

- The turns of the means show signals that they are being struck to each other.

- Oxide Appearance in the surface of the means.

- Variation in the distance between the edge of mudguard and center of the wheel

Advantages of an opportune change of the means:

- The change at the precise moment is the best way to avoid accidents and to guarantee the total satisfaction of the user

- Most of the times that change represents a significant economy for the proprietor of the vehicle. With the means in good state the shock absorbers work better, maintaining the adhesion of the tires to the floor and providing greater security when leading.

- The tires and the suspension are worn away less and the wheels stay aligned by more time.

- The advisable thing is to replace the means each two changes of shock absorbers, although that period can vary in agreement with the conditions of use of the vehicle.

- The frequent use in eventful lands or the continuous transportation of loads will do necessary a control most often.

- It is important that the change is made of a even not to cause imbalances.

- Finally, as it happens in the repairs of suspension, one is due to come to the alignment of the direction system after the change of the means.

STATE: The importance of the means:

All component of suspension is considered a security piece. The helical means are those that guarantee the height of a vehicle and those that absorb the impacts produced by wells and irregularities of the land. If the means are not in good state all the weight it is supported by the shock absorbers and the rest of the pieces of the suspension.

The balance and the stability of an automobile in restrained curves and depend on the good operation of the coil spring/shock absorber set. The change of means each two changes of shock absorbers guarantees the security and the optimal yield of all the components of the suspension. Consequences of badly been of the means:

- Premature Wearing down of the shock absorbers, bushings, grills, you label, etc.

- Impossibility to align.

- Great probability of loss of the control of its vehicle with imminent danger of accident.

Symptons of an infficient shock absorber:

1. Rupture and flight of gas or oil.
2. Structural damages: doubled piston rod, struck structure.
3. Excessive movement of the tires in irregular highway.
4. Oscillation of the vehicle in curve and braking.
5. Aligned frequent loss of (to camber and to caster).
6. Wearing down uneven of the tires of the suspension moldings.

 

Advantages of an efficient shock absorber:

1. The tires and the parts of suspension are worn away less and the wheels stay aligned more time.
2. Greater stability in curves and braking.
3. Security and comfort when leading.
4. Fuel saving.
