What are some symptoms of a worn Volkswagen Jetta shock absorber and strut assembly?
The shock absorber and strut assembly is designed to be very durable, since it has to take care of dampening the vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces or rocks. It can, however, get worn out due to the road condition the car is regularly driven on. Even without inspecting it, some symptoms can be observed to diagnose a problem with the shock absorber and strut assembly. First, negative changes in steering, tire wear, and your Jetta's responsiveness need to be observed. This usually means that there is something wrong with the shock absorber and strut assembly. Reduced ability to maintain traction, make quick turns, and perform emergency stops can also mean the shocks and struts are worn out. Finally, bald patches on the tires, vehicle pulling, slow recovery time after driving over large bumps, or sharp knocks when going over road obstacles are also symptoms of damaged or worn-out shocks and struts.
What is a strut "leak," and how is it repaired?
Various types of hydraulic-type liquids are put in struts to produce the force and tension required to provide the necessary suspension. Struts often leak when they get damaged. This happens when bad struts develop cracks in the body or around the strut seals that allow its hydraulic fluid to escape or leak out. Compared to other strut problems, this is not a serious issue, but it will still cause some discomfort and even reduced turning ability. However, severe leaks may mean the strut assembly has to be replaced.
How often should the shock absorber and strut assembly be checked?
A vehicle's strut assembly should be checked at least once a year. Problems like a noisy or sagging strut or a broken strut need to be observed and addressed accordingly. The struts should also be checked by the car owner or technician whenever a wheel alignment is done.
