Can a Repaired Frame Be Driven on Highways?
1 Answers
Realigning a displaced frame is referred to as straightening. However, the strength of a repaired frame will inevitably be inferior to its original factory condition. Theoretically speaking, if the damage was severe with significant frame deformation, even after repair, its rigidity during collisions may be compromised compared to before; moreover, the precision of the chassis may also be affected during aggressive driving. Below is relevant information: 1. Impact of Vehicle Repair: As long as the car drives straight without pulling to one side, the steering wheel remains stable at high speeds without shaking, and there's no uneven tire wear, then it should be fine; the vehicle frame is part of the automotive chassis structure, but most modern cars no longer use a frame-type chassis design, with only trucks and buses still utilizing it. 2. Vehicle Frame: The vehicle frame, also known as the chassis, serves as the foundation of the car, typically consisting of two longitudinal beams and several cross members, supported by the suspension system, front axle, and rear axle on the wheels.
