Strut, Noises

Strut, noises

Struts are frequently rejected and exchanged because of rumbling noises. Examinations on the test stand and vehicle have shown that there was not a complaint with approx. 70% of the rejected shock absorbers and the replacement was not justified.

With complaints that are interpreted as rumbling or knocking sounds, proceed as follows.

- Determine on a road test with the customer - if possible on a dry stretch of road with irregularities - where, when and how these sounds change.

Note:
^ In the rarest cases, the strut is the cause of the noises.
