How long is the standard time to replace a car shock absorber (fork)?

On each vehicle, parts have a different rate and frequency of replacement. The recommendations below are not correct for all cases, but they are also suggestions to help you have a better orientation in use, maintenance and repair.

Automotive parts need to be replaced periodically and sensibly.

If your car is often exposed to rain and sun, 2 years is too long for the endurance of the rubber layer on the wipers. Cracking, hardening or melting renders the rubber useless even if the lever is still active.

In dusty conditions like in Vietnam, you should clean the engine air filter every 3 months or every time when the oil change indicator lights (oil), you should replace them if they are too dirty. As for the air conditioner filter, you should change it every 6 months if you regularly use your car.

Regularly carrying heavy objects, or walking in crowded streets causes brake pads to wear out quickly. In high-end cars, which are often equipped with automatic brake pads wear sensors, if you change the brake pads when notified by the system, you should go to the nearest facility to change the brake pads that are suitable for your vehicle because Braking systems such as the ABS system on a vehicle are very important in traffic on the road. Mechanical wear is used in lower-end models.

When the brake occurs jamming in the brake mechanism with a frequency that varies with speed, most of the cases are brake pad wear. Not all systems work smoothly all the time, nor do they alert the operator. Therefore, after 3-5 years of use or 50,000-120,000km, even if there is nothing abnormal, you should also check the brake mechanism because it is likely that the brake pads have worn and scratched the brake disc. In addition to the cause of the worn brake pads, the brake pedal does not eat, think about the sealing rubber gasket. Gasket leaks can appear when the vehicle has traveled 160,000km, but if you try to check the brakes continuously, the temperature rises in the brake mechanism, the gasket can fail at any time.

If you use the car regularly, averaging about 19,000 – 24,000km per year, the tread will be worn. It is best not to use tires for more than 6 years because then the rubber layer is worn out, which can increase the risk of tire explosion. Spark plugs typically have a lifespan of 160,000 km or 8 years. However, they may have to be replaced before that if the igniter becomes heavily soiled with dirt, oil soot, or cracked porcelain.

Frequent fuse fires mean electrical system problems. The fuse has the function of protecting the circuit, it is broken, indicating that there is a large current flowing through. The risk of vehicle explosion will increase many times if using a fuse with a higher rated current than specified.

One of the most important parts of your car that you might forget is your car’s suspension system. If you do not regularly check, the damage of the shock absorbers for a long time will cause your auto parts to decrease in life. Currently, Eucartech is providing air suspension, suspension system for high-end cars today such as: BMW, MERCEDES-BEN, AUDI, LANDROVER-RANGE ROVER, PORSCHE ..v.v..
