Shock Absorbers, Checking On Shock Tester: Threshold
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Shock absorber condition can only be judged as follows:
- Sufficient damping effect
or
- Insufficient damping effect
NOTE:
Intermediate values for reduced damping performance cannot be read out.
A prognosis on service life is not permitted.
Measured values that occur with the involvement of the suspension travel end stops are incorrect.
The following values apply only to the test stands named above. If the specified values are exceeded, the shock absorber action has weakened enough that a replacement is recommended.
Example:
Threshold = 70
- -a- = greater than 70: Insufficient damping effect
- -a- = less than 70: Sufficient damping effect
The shock absorber combination installed in the vehicle is indicated by the corresponding PR number on the vehicle data plate.
