Will driving over a pothole at 60 mph affect the car?

[LaKinsley]

At this speed, if the pothole is relatively large, it can have a certain impact on the suspension and a significant effect on the tires. Small potholes are not a problem. Car protection when driving over potholes: Cars are equipped with shock absorber settings to prevent chassis impacts. Simply put, each time the shock absorber moves, it compresses less and rebounds more—compressing by one centimeter may result in a rebound of two centimeters. When the car encounters a pothole or bump, it's like wearing spring shoes; it will still lift slightly. At this point, even if the depth of the pothole is almost equal to the height of the car's chassis, because the car lifts slightly, it may not necessarily hit the pothole. Even without a protective plate, it might not hit. Precautions for driving over potholes at high speed: During high-speed driving, pay close attention to the road conditions ahead. If there are obstacles or uneven road surfaces, try to avoid them or reduce speed (release the brake just before the wheel enters the pothole) and pass through slowly at a steady speed. Do not steer when going over a pothole to reduce lateral impact. If the vehicle must drive onto a roadside step, observe carefully and try to approach it head-on, driving up the step slowly from a gentle slope at low speed.
