The dust cover of the shock absorber needs to be replaced in the following situations:

Dust cover damage: If the dust cover is damaged, cracked, or has fallen off, it will not be able to effectively protect the interior of the shock absorber from the erosion of dust and moisture, and it needs to be replaced.

Shock absorber oil leakage: If oil leakage is found in the shock absorber, it may be caused by damage to the dust cover. Replacing the dust cover may help solve this problem.

Shock absorber performance degradation: If the vehicle's shock absorption effect significantly decreases or abnormal noise occurs during driving, this may be a sign of damage to the shock absorber or dust cover, which needs to be checked and the dust cover may be replaced.

Internal contamination of shock absorbers: If a large amount of dust or dirt accumulates inside the shock absorber, it can affect its normal operation. Replacing the dust cover can help prevent further contamination.

Damaged shock absorber buffer block: If the shock absorber buffer block (also known as buffer) is damaged, it may need to be replaced together with the dust cover to ensure the normal operation of the shock absorber and extend its service life.

Regular maintenance: Even if the dust cover is not significantly damaged, regular inspection and maintenance are necessary. If aging or performance degradation of the dust cover is found, consider replacing it to maintain the best condition of the vehicle.

When replacing the dust cover of the shock absorber, the following points should also be noted:

Before replacing the dust cover, the shock absorber itself should be checked for any damage or oil leakage, and if necessary, the shock absorber may need to be replaced at the same time.

When purchasing a new dust cover, ensure that the model matches the original car parts to ensure its normal operation and provide sufficient protection.

If there is no relevant experience, it is recommended to use the correct tools and go to a professional car repair shop for replacement and maintenance to ensure safety and correctness.

After replacement, the operating status of the shock absorber should be regularly checked to promptly identify and address any potential issues.
