Summary:The paper presents an assessment of the technical condition of the vehicle shock absorbers built into the vehicle on the basis of the signals recorded during the vibration test. The test was performed on a test stand with kinematic harmonic forcing. The test stand can enforce vibrations in the range of 0-21 Hz and amplitude of 6 mm. The shock absorbers with indicated technical condition were built into the vehicle (the new shock absorber and the one with oil leak). The research was conducted on the twin-tube hydraulic shock with a modified structure that allows to change the amount of the fluid. The study was conducted for the front suspension shock absorber of passenger car with an independent McPherson front suspension. Acceleration was measured using capacitive sensors of accelerations type ADXL. Acceleration was recorded on test stand platform and near the axis of the wheel and on the upper point of attachment of the McPherson strut. Registered acceleration diagrams were subject to further treatment consisting of filtration and analysis. The results were compared for selected technical states.
