Now you can see how the polymer elements are attached. To reduce the noise, you can first try tightening the screws a little more.

Loosen the springs and treat the element

If tightening the screws does not help, loosen the two springs and spray some WD 40 into the element.

Reassemble the components

Then reassemble all loosened parts cleanly and check that the suspension is correctly seated.

When reassembling, make sure that all screws are correctly seated and that no components remain loose.

Check the result

After reassembly, check that the rear suspension works smoothly again and no longer makes any noticeable noises. In particular, check that the fastenings are tight and that the suspension moves freely.

After the repair, test your VMAX e-scooter carefully when stationary or over a short distance before using it normally again in everyday life.
