SUSPENSION NOISE DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

Diagnosing a suspension noise complaint can be more complicated than curing a misfire trouble code. Instead of a scan tool, your diagnostics tools are your eyes and ears, but they can be augmented. Like an engine, you are dealing with multiple systems that affect each other. If one suspension part is out of specification, it can cause noise or vibration in another. The first time you will use your ears is to listen to the customer. If you are writing up the customer, no detail is too small for a technician. If there is a good description of the noise, chances are better that. you can then duplicate the noise. If you can't replicate the noise, you can't fix it. The next step is to perform an inspection.
