Is a Car with a Damaged Frame Still Worth Keeping?

[Grayson]

Whether a car with a damaged frame is still worth keeping mainly depends on the extent of the collision damage and the quality of the repairs after servicing. Reasons for frame deformation: Under normal circumstances, a car's frame does not deform. Typically, only vehicles involved in accidents experience frame deformation. A car's frame is designed with sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand the vehicle's load and impacts transmitted from the wheels. Frame composition: The car frame is supported by the front and rear axles of the suspension system on the wheels, bearing almost all the weight of the car and its cargo. The car frame mainly consists of longitudinal beams and cross beams, specifically divided into side rail and center rail types. The material of the car frame is generally high-strength steel plates, with cross beams and longitudinal beams connected primarily by riveting to form a rigid structure. This ensures sufficient strength and stiffness to bear the vehicle's load and impacts from the wheels.
