Slide1: First Signs of Worn-Out Shock Absorbers in a Volvo
Slide2: The role of shock absorbers is to keep the tires on the ground & allow you to maintain control of the Volvo on rough roads.
Slide3: Shocks are attached to your Volvo using bolts and rubber bushings, serving as a link between suspension components.
Slide4: Today's shock absorbers ensure smooth rides, quality vehicle handling, and longer tire and car suspension life.
Slide5: This article talks about the first signs of worn-out shock absorbers in your Volvo.
Slide6: Longer stopping distances
Slide7: It is one of the most probable signs of bad shock absorber parts.
Slide8: One of the shock absorber functions is to keep the tires on the ground.
Slide9: And if the shocks are worn, they cannot help control the bouncing of the wheels.
Slide10: Nose diving when braking
Slide11: The worn-out shock absorbers let fluid flow out through the seal.
Slide12: And that causes the piston to move excessively in the cylinder.
Slide13: While braking, the nose of the car dives because the weight of the car swings more.
Slide14: Rear squats
Slide15: A shock absorber failure causes the rear to squat.
Slide16: A squaring rear indicates rear shock absorber problems.
Slide17: But whereas the noise dives during braking, the rear will squat when you hit the gas pedal.
Slide18: Leaking shock absorber fluid
Slide19: Generally, the shock absorber fluid leaks due to broken seals.
Slide20: Leaking shock absorber symptoms include oil on the sides of the shock or the ground.
Slide21: Leaking shocks will not control the oscillations and will cause handling issues in a Volvo.
Slide22: Broken bushings
Slide23: The bushings are ever exposed to the harsh conditions of the atmosphere.
Slide24: Worn bushings cannot cushion the shock mounts from the suspension it attaches to.
Slide25: As a result, Volvo makes a lot of noise, especially when driving in rough conditions.
Slide26: The bad shock absorber has shrubberies close to its joints; these can break when your Volvo has experienced potholes or a few knocks.
Slide27: Whenever you encounter this problem and suspect shock absorber failure, it is advisable to contact your Volvo specialist.
