This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the adjustment methods of electric vehicle shock absorption, and provide structured data for reference.
1. The importance of electric vehicle shock absorption system

The shock absorption system is one of the key components of electric vehicles. Its main function is to absorb road bumps and improve riding comfort. According to the hot discussion on the Internet, poor shock absorption may cause the following problems:
| Question type | Frequency of occurrence (last 10 days) | Main discussion platform |
|---|---|---|
| Bumpy and uncomfortable riding | high frequency | Zhihu, Tieba |
| Poor vehicle stability | Medium and high frequency | Douyin, Bilibili |
| Shock absorption and abnormal noise | IF | Autohome Forum |
2. Electric vehicle shock absorption types and adjustment methods
According to technical discussions on the entire network, the current mainstream electric vehicle shock absorption systems are mainly divided into the following three types:
| Shock absorption type | Applicable models | Adjustment points |
|---|---|---|
| spring shock absorber | Entry-level electric vehicle | Adjust preload stroke |
| Hydraulic shock absorber | Mid- to high-end electric vehicles | Adjust damping coefficient |
| Air pressure shock absorption | High-end electric vehicles | Adjust air pressure value |
3. Specific adjustment steps
1.Spring shock absorption adjustment method
Find the adjustment ring on the shock absorber and turn it clockwise to increase stiffness or counterclockwise to decrease stiffness. It is recommended to ride and test first and gradually adjust to the best condition.
2.Hydraulic shock absorber adjustment method
There is usually an adjustment knob on the top or bottom of the shock absorber. According to the maintenance video data of the entire network, the common adjustment parameters are as follows:
| Cycling scene | Recommended damping settings | Adjust direction |
|---|---|---|
| Chengping Road | medium soft | 1-2 turns counterclockwise |
| country road | Medium to hard | 1 turn clockwise |
| Loaded riding | Hardest setting | clockwise to the end |
3.Air pressure shock absorption adjustment method
It is necessary to use a special air pressure pump and adjust it according to the air pressure value recommended by the manufacturer. In hot discussions in the past 10 days, the air pressure values recommended by each brand are as follows:
| brand | Vehicle weight (kg) | Recommended air pressure (psi) |
|---|---|---|
| Yadi | 50-60 | 120-140 |
| calf | 60-70 | 140-160 |
| No. 9 | 70-80 | 160-180 |
4. Precautions for adjustment
1. Make sure the vehicle is in a level position before adjustment
2. The range of each adjustment should not be too large. It is recommended to make multiple adjustments in small increments.
3. Actual riding test is required after adjustment.
4. If you encounter complex problems, it is recommended to consult professional maintenance personnel.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
Based on the popular questions and answers on the Internet in the past 10 days, the following high-frequency questions have been sorted out:
| question | solution | Discussion popularity |
|---|---|---|
| What to do if shock absorption is too good | Reduce preload or reduce damping | high fever |
| Causes of abnormal noise in shock absorbers | Check bushings for wear | medium heat |
| Shock absorption and softness in rainy days | Check the tightness and replace the oil seal if necessary | low fever |
6. Maintenance suggestions
1. Regularly clean the dirt on the surface of the shock absorber
2. Check the status of the shock absorber oil every 6 months
3. Avoid overloading
4. The shock absorbing pressure should be released when parked for a long time.
Through the above adjustment methods and maintenance suggestions, you can effectively improve the riding comfort of your electric vehicle. If you need more professional guidance, it is recommended to refer to the vehicle manual or consult the brand’s after-sales service.
