Signs of support bearing failure

2017-10-29

It is common for front shock absorber support bearings to fail.  However, these problems are not immediately recognized. The car makes a loud noise in such cases. Checking shock absorbers usually also consists of checking the wear and tear of all rubber parts of the suspension. At the first signs of failure, it is recommended to replace the OP to avoid problems. Therefore, when the car starts making noise while driving, it is very likely that the shock absorber bearings have reached the end of their service life.

A worn or defective shock absorber bearing can be identified by:

Lack of cornering stability;

squeaking springs;

heavy squealing when turning;

incomplete steering after turning;

Sharp and repetitive bumps when driving on a bad road.
