The service life of the shock absorber is usually around 100,000 kilometers, but the specific life is affected by many factors, including vehicle usage, road conditions, driving habits, and shock absorber quality. For example, if a family car travels 20,000 kilometers per year, the service life of the shock absorber is about 5 years. For high-performance vehicles or vehicles that often drive under harsh road conditions, the replacement cycle of the shock absorber may be shorter.
The performance of the shock absorber will gradually decrease with the increase of mileage, so regular inspection and maintenance are necessary. If the shock absorber leaks oil, the internal rubber ages or cracks, it should be replaced in time. In addition, avoiding overloading and passing through harsh road conditions quickly can also help extend the service life of the shock absorber.
In general, although there is a rough replacement cycle, the actual service life of the shock absorber may vary depending on the specific situation of the vehicle and the conditions of use. Therefore, it is recommended to check the condition of the shock absorber regularly and decide whether it needs to be replaced based on the actual situation.
