How to Check if the Car Frame is Deformed?

[DiFaith]

Methods to check if the car frame is deformed include: 1. Inspect whether the front and rear wheels on the left and right sides are aligned in a straight line. If not, it indicates overall frame deformation; 2. Measure the gap between the rear side of each wheel and the wheel well, which should be roughly the same. Otherwise, it suggests deformation in the frame or the entire body. Causes of frame deformation are: 1. Driving on uneven roads causes vertical impact loads on the frame, exceeding its allowable stress. When going uphill, downhill, turning, or with uneven loading, local overloading can lead to frame breakage; 2. When driving, one side of the front wheels encounters significant resistance, making the frame prone to diagonal plane deformation; 3. The car is involved in a collision accident; 4. Frame design or attached devices cause local torque leading to frame breakage.
