Will the car be damaged if it goes over a pothole without slowing down and makes a loud bang?

[Wren]

Going over a pothole without slowing down and making a loud bang will not necessarily damage the car. Here are specific details about what happens when a car goes over a pothole without slowing down: Potential harm: You can check whether the suspension is damaged by observing if there is any steering deviation, unusual noises while driving, or if the shock absorbers are leaking oil. If you are still concerned, it is advisable to have the car lifted for inspection if possible. Shock absorbers: The suspension system of a car absorbs most of the impact force when going over a pothole. After passing a pothole, besides inspecting the tires, which is essential, the car's suspension might also be affected. If the tires and rims show no obvious damage, it indicates that most of the energy and impact from the collision were absorbed by the suspension system.
