What are the impacts of hitting the car chassis?
2 Answers
The following are the impacts of hitting the chassis on a car: 1. The exhaust pipe is located at the bottom of the vehicle and is also very fragile. Hitting hard objects like stones can even cause it to be scraped or punctured. When the chassis is hit, the front bumper and exhaust pipe are also more likely to be damaged. 2. Generally, hitting the chassis can cause scratches on the bottom of the car, as well as deformation of the bottom. In severe cases, it can damage the engine oil pan, and the scratched areas are prone to rust. 3. Hitting the chassis may cause brake fluid pipes to leak. Modern cars widely use hydraulic braking systems, and hitting the chassis can easily cause the brake fluid pipes to rupture. 4. Hitting the chassis can easily cause the oil pan of the engine or transmission to crack, leading to oil leakage. In such cases, repairs should be done as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the engine.
I've been driving modified cars for ten years. That time, I was speeding too fast on a mountain road and scraped the undercarriage, flattening the exhaust pipe, which made the car extremely noisy when driving. I also noticed that the right front wheel suspension was a bit misaligned. Damage to the undercarriage can have significant impacts: first, the exhaust pipe is prone to damage, reducing the car's power; second, a broken driveshaft or fuel tank can lead to oil leaks and even fires, which is really dangerous! I immediately drove to the repair shop for a lift inspection and spent eight hundred on replacement parts. Usually, it's best not to drive too aggressively—slow down on rough roads. Installing an aluminum alloy skid plate can withstand impacts and extend the car's lifespan.
