What to Do When the Car Hits the Undercarriage After Descending Steps?
1 Answers
The solution to the car hitting the undercarriage after descending steps is to drive the car to a repair shop, lift it up, and carefully inspect the undercarriage. If the pipes are not damaged and only the steel plate has scratches, applying some paint to prevent rust is sufficient. If the pipes are damaged, a thorough inspection and repair are necessary. To prevent severe undercarriage damage from impacts, you can spray undercarriage armor or install an engine guard plate. During the car's design, the undercarriage is built to withstand a certain level of impact. The most vulnerable parts of the undercarriage are various pipes, such as brake hydraulic pipes and fuel pipes. However, these pipes are hidden and protected within the grooves of the undercarriage steel plate and do not protrude beyond the undercarriage's horizontal plane. If the car hits protruding rocks on the ground, the impact surface is point-like, and the protruding rocks may damage the pipes in the grooves, causing oil or fluid leaks, which can be hazardous.
