Does hitting a tire affect the suspension?

[VonEli]

Tire impact can affect the suspension. Hitting a curb with a tire can have certain impacts on the tire, wheel rim, suspension, and shock absorbers. Severe impacts can damage the tire, causing sidewall bulges, blowouts, wheel rim deformation, or even suspension damage, leading to body distortion, unusual noises, and damage to the shock absorbers and steering system. More related information is as follows: 1. Suspension System: The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the car's frame and the axle or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. If there are issues with the suspension, immediate inspection and repair at a 4S shop are necessary. 2. Note: Frequently and incorrectly mounting curbs can cause significant damage to the car's chassis, suspension, and shock absorbers. If the driver misjudges the height gap between the curb and the chassis, it can lead to the chassis scraping or even damaging critical components like the oil pan. Long-term parking with wheels on curbs can also cause uneven suspension stress, leading to abnormal wear.
