Buffer rubber is a type of rubber product with high elasticity and toughness, belonging to the automotive modification category. Used to install the coil spring in the car suspension system, mainly for buffering and shock-absorbing effects, and to protect the shock absorber. Prevent the shock absorber from pressing down to the bottom, causing oil leakage failure. Serve as a buffer.
Can installing buffer glue reduce noise?
Firstly, it needs to be clarified that buffer glue is not a silencer. It is not like the claims made by some businesses to "reduce noise by 80%" or "reduce noise by 40%", which are clearly not scientific and comprehensive. However, it should be acknowledged that buffer adhesive can indeed reduce noise to a certain extent (depending on the specific situation). For example, some vehicles often experience friction and collision sounds in the suspension system and surrounding areas when loading heavy objects or driving rough roads. After installing buffer glue, this problem is solved and some of the surrounding noise is relatively absorbed. Or more simply, since the buffer rubber improves smoothness and comfort during driving, some of the original related noise will naturally be reduced.
Kind reminder: If you feel abnormal sound from the suspension system while driving after installing the buffer glue, please check if the buffer glue is installed correctly!
Can installing buffer adhesive improve load-bearing capacity?
In most cases, this is completely correct. We usually have this experience where when a car is loaded with heavy cargo, the body lowers very low (the springs are compressed), and even when passing through the speed bumps, we have to be careful; After installing the buffer glue, the buffer glue plays a supporting and relieving role in the middle of the spring. When loading the same weight of goods, the vehicle body will not be pressed so low (larger spring spacing is more obvious, and weaker springs are also more obvious). In other words, installing the buffer glue can improve the bearing capacity.
Will installing buffer glue reduce the lifespan of the suspension system?
This is a big misconception, as some products with poor quality on the market have led users to have such thoughts and feelings. Some defective products themselves are relatively hard or become hard during use. Imagine the consequences of a hard rubber block blocking the middle of the shock absorber spring? Simply put, the so-called "buffer glue", which is hard or even bursting, does have both advantages and disadvantages for the shock absorber system.
It should be noted that high-quality buffer adhesive is made of materials with high elasticity, strong toughness, and suitable hardness, which can ensure that it can remain flexible (without hardening or cracking) during long-term use, thus helping and caring for the suspension system. High quality buffer adhesive will never damage the suspension system!
