What problems can occur when a car passes over a large pothole?
1 Answers
Here are the possible situations after a car passes over a large pothole: 1. Tire and rim deformation: When a car is driving at high speed and suddenly passes over an uneven road surface, the wheels bear the maximum impact force. If the speed is too high, it can directly cause the tire to be scrapped, and in severe cases, it can even deform the rim. If you accidentally drive over a large pothole, be sure to check the wheel damage in time while ensuring safety. If there is shaking or abnormal noise, remember to call for roadside assistance promptly. 2. Suspension system damage: After passing over a large pothole, not only the wheels but also the suspension system can be affected. If there is no significant damage to the tires and rims after inspection, it means the impact force has been absorbed by the suspension. Long-term driving over potholes can cause considerable damage to the suspension and shock absorbers, so try to avoid potholes as much as possible. 3. Oil leakage or abnormal noise from the chassis: The protective measures at the bottom of the car are quite strong, as the engine chassis usually has protective plates, so there is generally no damage. However, if there is oil leakage or abnormal noise from the bottom, it must indicate a serious problem. 4. Exhaust pipe rupture: The exhaust pipe at the bottom of the car is very fragile, just an ordinary pipe. If it is hit, it will definitely crack or break. A ruptured exhaust pipe is easy to detect because the car's exhaust sound will become very loud after the pipe is damaged.
