Will driving over a deep pothole cause any damage to the car?

[SanKaden]

Driving over a deep pothole may cause the following damages to the car: 1. Scratches to the chassis: The fasteners of various components on the chassis may loosen. Pay special attention to whether the oil pan is damaged. You can park the car on a flat surface for a while and check if there is any oil leakage. 2. Damage to the tires and rims: 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 may directly cause the tire to be scrapped, and in severe cases, the rim may deform. If you accidentally drive over a large pothole, be sure to check the condition of the wheels promptly under safe conditions. If there is shaking or unusual noise, remember to call for roadside assistance immediately. 3. Damage to the suspension system: If there is no significant damage to the tires and rims, it means the impact force has been absorbed by the suspension. Long-term driving over potholes can cause considerable harm to the suspension and shock absorbers, so try to avoid driving over potholes as much as possible.
