Check of shock-absorbers

Usually shock-absorbers do not fail suddenly, their efficiency gradually decreases what imperceptibly get used to.

It is impossible to make the exact diagnosis by the known "method of rocking" of the standing car at which the car is shaken for a wing at the corresponding shock-absorber and then suddenly release: the springing movement has to be extinguished at once. But it is so possible to define only completely failed shock-absorber.

More accurate account of a condition of the shock-absorber will be given by the special test bench.
