What are the effects of hitting the chassis?
2 Answers
If the car chassis is hit but no important components or pipelines are damaged, there will be no impact on the car; if important components or pipelines are damaged, it will affect the normal operation of the car. Here is some relevant information about the chassis: Definition: The chassis usually refers to the main frame of the car's underside, where all the vehicle's power components, including the engine, transmission, differential, and suspension system, are installed. Function: The chassis supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car. It receives the engine's power to generate motion and ensure normal driving. At the same time, a good chassis can ensure the driver's safety.
Last year, I accidentally hit a pothole while driving, which left a big dent on the undercarriage. At first, I didn't feel anything unusual, but later the car started behaving oddly, wobbling a bit when turning. I quickly got down to check and found that the exhaust pipe underneath was slightly deformed and leaking a bit of oil—the smell of oil really startled me! A friend told me that if left unfixed, the undercarriage could rust faster, or suspension parts might loosen, making it dangerous the next time I hit the highway. I immediately took it to the repair shop, where the mechanic used a lift to inspect it and indeed found a small crack in the oil pipe. Spending some money to replace the part gave me peace of mind. In short, the undercarriage is like the skeleton of the car—if it's damaged, don't delay. Getting it fixed is worth it, and saving a little money now could lead to big trouble later.
