The shock absorber is hydraulic pumps that help in the movement of your Mini’s springs and suspension. If your vehicle is having a bad shock absorber, you will get steering wheel vibrations, uneven tire wear, and fluid leaks. Go through the given slideshow to learn the symptoms of a bad shock absorber in a Mini.

1. Symptoms of a Bad
Shock Absorber in a
Mini

2. The shock
absorbersare
hydraulic pumps like
devices that help to
control the rebound
movement of your
Mini's springs and
suspension.

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

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

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

7. When these parts get
worn out, fluid will
come out of the
valves or seals
rather than maintain
a steady flow.

8. There are vibrations
that will become
more intense if you
drive over a
pothole, rocky
terrain, or a bump.

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

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

12. This will make your
driving experience
more inconvenient
and create a
bouncing
experience.

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

15. Worn out seals means
the suspension
fluid will leak
out onto the body of
the shock absorber
and is visible on the
road.

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

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

19. You apply foot
pressure to the
brake pedal and
then the braking
system takes a few
seconds or more to
respond.

20. This is a clear
indication that your
shock absorber
has gone bad and
the problem needs to
be addressed
immediately.
