Here is a list of the 5 most common errors regarding the replacement of shock absorbers. Error number 1 is choosing the wrong replacement. Shock absorbers are available in different types and differ in a series of specifications, designed for a specific vehicle. Even if it is possible to install a compatible replacement, it does not mean that it will not cause safety issues for the vehicle. It is important to use original parts by ordering using the OEM code present on it to avoid mistakes. Error number 2 is neglecting to check the condition of connected parts. During the inspection of shock absorbers, it is important to also check the springs, supports, bearings, travel limiters, and dust covers. If damaged parts are not replaced, simply changing the shock absorber will not solve your problem. Error number 3 is failing to bleed the shock absorber. It is possible for the fluid in this part to leak, so it is necessary to verify its correct functioning before installation and potentially restore it. Error number 4 is using incorrect torque on fastening elements. Since the required values are specified by the manufacturer, it is essential to observe the removed elements to measure them and avoid errors. Error number 5 is incorrect positioning of the shock absorbers. The fastening elements should not be tightened if the suspension components are unloaded when the vehicle is lifted, as this will result in incorrect positioning of the shock absorbers. Only position them when the wheels are on the ground and the components are loaded.
