Owning a car is a dream for many people nowadays. When owning a car, the main thing that is most hoped for is comfort. By having a car, you will certainly gain various comforts. The comfort referred to is when you are protected from direct sunlight, because usually inside the car there is air conditioning that makes the conditions inside the car cool and comfortable.

Another comfort gained is that with a car, you will be spared from getting soaked if it suddenly rains. Passengers can also rest or sleep comfortably while on the journey. One of the most important things to support comfort while driving a car is the shock absorber, which is a support for your car's tires.

The function of the shock absorber can be said to be very vital, because the shock absorber can hold the car and stabilize it when faced with shocks caused by potholes or bumpy roads. Therefore, it is important for you who own a car to pay attention to this shock absorber part. You need to know how to maintain the shock absorber so that it lasts and is durable when taken on a trip.

Without further ado, here are 3 things you can do to maintain your car's shock absorber so that it lasts. Let's check out the following review.

1. Avoid Potholes

There are various types of car owners with their own driving styles. Some are very careful in driving their cars, while others are not careful at all. Usually, people who are very careful certainly care for their cars.

So, which one are you?

Of course, as a car owner and driver, the priority should be caution, because if you are not careful, the risk is an accident or other unwanted events.

Caution will also affect the maintenance of your car's shock absorber. In Indonesia, smooth roads are still a rarity. So, as much as possible, you should avoid potholes to keep your car's shock absorber durable.

2. Avoid Overloading

Every car certainly has a maximum capacity to hold and carry loads. Therefore, you need to know how strong your car can hold loads and avoid overloading your beloved car.

Excessive and forced loads will certainly affect your car's suspension, especially the shock absorber. Too much weight will make the function of the shock absorber not optimal.

If excessive loads are continuously applied, it can cause your car's shock absorber to leak. You wouldn't want your driving experience to become uncomfortable, right?

3. Regularly Check the Shock Absorber's Protective Rubber

Inside the shock absorber, there is a protective rubber that functions to keep the shock absorber clean from dirt that will enter the shock absorber. This rubber is located inside the shock absorber tube.

If this protective rubber is damaged, dirt will enter the shock absorber, which will prevent the shock absorber from functioning optimally. This will cause the shock absorber to wear out and erode.

Dirt that sticks to the walls of the shock absorber tube will eventually cause the shock absorber to leak. Therefore, you must regularly check the shock absorber's protective rubber to detect any damage.

Well, those are 3 things you can do to maintain your shock absorber. Don't be lazy to take care of all parts of your car to keep it durable and comfortable to drive.
