Will the Accord chassis be damaged if it is hit?
1 Answers
The chassis of the Accord being hit generally won't cause any issues as long as the speed was low during the impact and the collision sound was not loud. If a loud noise occurs during the collision, it may cause the oil pan to dent or even puncture. The oil pan is where the engine oil is stored. If it is punctured and leaks oil, the engine will suffer from insufficient lubrication, leading to phenomena such as cylinder scoring, weak car performance, difficulty accelerating, elevated engine temperature, and unstable RPM. Common causes of chassis scraping: 1. Uneven roads, surfaces with many grooves or potholes: Such roads primarily damage the front bumper, suspension, and tires. Solution: Slow down and drive cautiously, avoid such roads whenever possible, observe road conditions, and estimate your car's ground clearance to steer clear in advance. 2. Being scratched by debris when crossing road surfaces: In this case, the most vulnerable parts are the oil pan and suspension, which can easily lead to oil pan rupture. Solution: Keep your vision focused farther ahead while driving, spot debris early, and try to avoid it.
