When replacing shock absorbers, their protective kits - boots and bumpers are often forgotten, especially if they do not have noticeable defects.
Even in car services, the protective kit is sometimes rearranged from old shock absorbers to new ones, significantly reducing their service life. We tell you why.
Every shock absorber has a removable boot and bump stop that make up the protection kit. They can be either two separate parts, or a single whole. The boot and bump stop are not included in the delivery of the shock absorber - the protective kit is always purchased separately. And this is one of the reasons why they are not always changed when replacing shock absorbers - often suitable anthers and bumpers are simply not at hand.
The condition of the anther and bump stop directly affects the life of the shock absorber. The protective kit protects the stem and oil seal from external influences: the boot prevents sand, road dirt and moisture from getting on the mirror surface of the stem, and the bump protects the shock absorber from shock loads during breakdown (maximum compression) of the suspension in the pits.
The boot of a shock absorber or strut is a rubber corrugated cover that covers the working surface of the rod. The boot works in the dirtiest area of the car - the wheel arches, so road dirt and sand constantly accumulate in its folds, actively grinding the rubber. Outwardly, the old boot may look quite normal, but the thickness of the rubber between the folds will already be minimal. In addition, from prolonged use and exposure to road chemicals, rubber ages, losing the necessary elasticity. As a result, from vibration, the anther is torn in the thinnest place, exposing the shock absorber rod.
It is impossible to notice this quickly - no one looks into the wheel arches with a flashlight before every trip. And when the torn boot is finally discovered - when changing tires or diagnosing the suspension - it may be too late.
As soon as abrasive road dust begins to hit the stem mirror heavily, the shock absorber's days are numbered.
Scratches quickly appear on the surface of the rod, which wear out the shock absorber oil seal. Soon, the oil "sweating" of the shock absorber begins, the loss of work efficiency, the characteristic pecking of the body and knocking. As a result, due to a cheap rubber boot that was not replaced on time, the shock absorber has to be changed ahead of schedule. More precisely, two shock absorbers - they change only in pairs.
A shock absorber or strut bumper is a rubber cylinder mounted on a rod. Thanks to the bump stop, the internal shock absorber mechanism does not collapse when the suspension breaks down, when the stroke of the rod is already fully selected, and the car body is still moving down (when it hits a deep hole or jumps on asphalt waves). At the same time, the driver hears a frightening roar - this is the shock absorber body hitting a rubber bump, which hard, but effectively dampens the blow. Due to this, the shock absorber and its rod, as a rule, remain intact.
During operation, the fender is subjected to mechanical and thermal stress. Its rubber ages and becomes covered with cracks, noticeably losing elasticity, and hence the ability to soften blows - such a bump stop will no longer save the shock absorber when the suspension breaks down. In addition, microcracks in the bump stop accumulate fine abrasive from road dust, which eventually begins to wear out the surface of the shock absorber rod. The result is similar to the rupture of the anther - wear of the gland, loss of tightness and failure of the shock absorber.
Also, due to mechanical wear, the internal diameter of the fender increases, due to which it no longer fits snugly against the stem. If the shock absorber boot is mounted on the bump stop or they are a single part, the protective kit becomes loose and exposes the stem, passing external dirt to it. In unskilled car services, they try to compensate for the wear of the bumper with the help of electrical tape, winding it around the rod, which only accelerates the breakdown of the shock absorber.
From the high temperature (the shock absorber gets seriously hot during operation), the adhesive layer of the electrical tape “floats” - the bump stop begins to play again, and the remnants of the electrical tape gradually slide down the stem to the stuffing box, disabling it.
Due to the fact that dusters and fenders are critical to shock absorbers, the replacement of a protective kit with a new one is a mandatory requirement when applying for a guarantee on shock absorbers and struts (for example, the KYB branded three-year warranty). We repeat, visual diagnostics and the conclusions of the mechanic “still look like” are not enough - anthers and fenders should in any case be replaced with new ones.
If you purchased shock absorbers from an unauthorized dealer, install them yourself and do not claim a warranty, it is still worth replacing the protection kits - this way you will significantly extend the life of the shock absorbers. Moreover, it will not be difficult - in any case, the rack will be assembled from scratch.
The SPB_TRANSFER_LIST_ENTRY_INIT_SIMPLE function returns an SPB_TRANSFER_LIST_ENTRY structure that is initialized to describe a simple data buffer.
