Symptoms of a Bad Shock Absorber in a Mini

Symptoms of a Bad

Shock Absorber in a Mini

The shock

absorbers are hydraulic pumps like devices that help to control the rebound movement of your Mini's springs and suspension.

They ensure that the tires provide the safest control and braking response from your car.

When the shock

absorber eventually does go bad, the Mini comes up with a series of symptoms of which some are listed below.

There are many parts that are inside a shock absorber, such as the piston, seals and valves.

When these parts get worn out, fluid will come out of the valves or

seals rather than maintain a steady flow.

There are vibrations that will become more intense if you

drive over a pothole, rocky terrain, or a bump.

Shock absorbers help in keeping your tires even and aligned on the road.

The tires

wear unevenly as you drive because there are different areas of each tire touching the road.

This will make your driving experience more inconvenient and create a

bouncing experience.

There are seals inside the shock absorber which keeps the suspension fluid contained.

Worn out seals means the suspension

fluid will leak out onto the body of the shock absorber and is visible on the road.

If such leaks go unnoticed, then your vehicle will eventually malfunction after enough fluid leaks from the shock absorber.

A very noticeable symptom of a bad shock absorber is slow braking.

apply foot pressure to the brake pedal and then

You

the braking system takes a few seconds or more to respond.

This is a clear indication that your

shock absorber has gone bad and the problem needs to be addressed immediately.
