Light Misting Of Oil On Shock Absorbers

It simply means that there is indeed a light misting of oil around the seal on the shock absorber. If its a few days then think bout repairs.

I was told that it would need to be leaking before they could replace the part.

Light misting of oil on shock absorbers. A shock absorber or strut consists of one or more pistons that flow through a thick oil as the wheel to which its attached moves up and down. How serious is it with oil spewing out a little the guy said 2 weeks ago that would of failed an mot but new. Offside Front Shock absorbers light misting of oil or has limited damping effect 532 b Now the the suspension is a bit squeaky over bumps seems others on here have experienced similar but the car only has 45k on the clock so it seems a bit soon for new shocks.

Audi technician has put on the MOT monitor and repair if necessary advisories shock absorbers light misting of oil or has limited damping effect Nearside right 532b. Many technicians find it difficult to differentiate between a misting shock and a leaking shock that needs replacement. Nearside front Shock absorber has a light misting of oil 273 offside front Shock absorber has a light misting of oil 273 I wonder if this related to the knocking noise I could hear.

Sounds like a possible fluid loss from a shock absorber but nothing drastic. This helps to stop the wheel from bouncing after each bump. Quote I would hesitate to say that this is not unusual and just because VW issue a TPI doesnt make it right.

Does anyone have experience with this advisory. By design the piston rod carries a film of oil through the rod seal to lubricate the seal lips thereby reducing frictionwear at the seal contact area and prolonging seal life. A light misting of oil will simply pick up an advisory as long as the damping qualities of the shock havent been adversely affected.

As the problem isnt serious you might a swell leave it or clean the area of misting see how long before it shows itself again. Slight leaking of oil sweating at piston rod seal is no reason to replace a shock absorber. Misting is a perfectly normal and necessary function of a commercial vehicle shock absorber.

In fact shocks and struts are designed to mist slightly. Examinations on the test stand and on the vehicle have shown that the replacement of a large number of rejected shock absorbers was not justified. My Honda is on its original shocks after 20 years.

Got an advisory. Misting occurs when the hot piston rod is drawn out of the shock body and the microscopic film of hot oil on the rod turns to vapour. Car failed its mot on number plate bulb and ball joint.

Shock Absorbers Leaking Shock absorbers are frequently rejected and exchanged because of leaks. The car is on 32k and in the opinion of JKM who did the MOT thats not very many miles for new shocks they should last longer. A secondary benefit is additional rod corrosion protection.

The light misting of oil that has been observed by your MOT tester is just evidence that a very small amount of oil may have escaped from the shock absorber. Misting is a common occurrence and totally normal in shocks and struts. As the shock absorber gets older and more worn this seal will become less effective and you may see a very small amount of oil drawn out by the action of the rod moving up and down.

This oil mist lubricates the seal as the rod moves maximizing shock and strut life. The light misting is not a problem infact the front shock absorbers have a gland in built to allow excess pressure out out so the internal seals dont get damaged as this happens there will be a slight amount of fluid that escapes as well. Misting is normal on shock absorbers and must pass for WoFCoF.

Might even be oil spillage but probably not. There is also a TPI from VW stating that a light misting of oil is ok as they kept being replaced under warranty when there was nothing up with them. By design the piston rod carries a film of oil through the rod seal to lubricate the seal lips thereby.

They said that its still a perfectly fine shock absorber done the bounce tests etc and it appears to be damping correctly just it appears with slight. How bad is it. The motion of the piston through the oil converts mechanical energy to heat damping the motion and helping bring it to a stop.

A serious leak fluid running down the tube will fail. Depends how bad the leak is. Offside Front Shock absorbers light misting of oil or has limited damping effect 532 b The first question is is this a warranty item in the eyes of Skoda.

Rear shock absorber has a light misting of oil. Hi all my car had its MOT and although it passed fine the MOT tester mentioned that there was some light misting of oil on the ns front shock absorber and he put it on the advisory note. When i got it home i did the bounce test and it is fine on that.

Im disappointed that Audi are not willing to replace the shock under the warranty. Generally it fits inside the front spring and is difficult to see with the car on the ground. The car is going for around 1000 so not expensive but I dont want to be replacing shock absorbers on.

It isnt unusual for these shockers to have a light misting of oil.
