When the car continues to drive behind the bottom, it always makes us feel uneasy because the chassis is too low, we can't see it, and we don't know where the damage is? Did you damage an important part? For mountain roads, uneven dirt roads and construction sites, the probability of bottom support is relatively large, but there will occasionally be bottom support on urban roads, such as people on the road up and down, large stones on the side of the road, etc. The following problems will occur after the bottom support. Today I will share it with you.
1. What parts of the car can be damaged by the base?
Bottom
All parts of the chassis can be injured. Common ones are: water tank rack (dragging the water tank frame under the water tank), engine oil bottom guard (at the bottom of the engine, there is oil inside), transmission oil bottom guard shell (at the bottom of the transmission, there is transmission oil inside), triangle arm (inside the tire), stabilizer bar and brake tubing (from front to back close to the chassis, without any shielding protection), exhaust pipe and fuel tank. The more fronts, the greater the probability of injury at the bottom of the support, and the more rear parts, the smaller the probability. Because it moves forward, the obstacle passes through the front first.
2. Can you continue to drive when the bottom rises?
Whether you can continue to drive depends on the severity and the location of the drag, if you drag to the engine oil bottom shell, transmission oil bottom shell, brake oil pipe, etc., there is oil leakage, can not be opened, dragged to the triangle arm, stabilizer bar, etc., the deformation is serious, can not be opened, in short, to check it, after the bottom of the pullover, and then check yourself.
3. How do you tell if it's serious and if it can be opened?
First check whether the oil leaks, lie down and observe the engine underneath, if the oil leaks, directly call for rescue, if there is no oil leak, you can continue to drive slowly, feel whether the brakes have changed, whether the brakes have become soft, and then check whether the steering wheel is tilted, whether it can be rotated, whether there is a fault or an abnormal sound. If there is no problem with this step, continue to drive, accelerate, and listen to whether there is any difference. If there is no abnormal noise, it means that the car is normal. If you're still worried, you can take the time to go to the repair shop, pick up the car, and let the repair master check it out. Experienced maintenance masters can tell at a glance if there is a problem.
4. How to prevent the bottom?
If the whole road condition is very poor, there are many potholes, you can only drive slowly, do not let the protruding part pass through the bottom of the car, try to let the wheel press to the protruding place, if there is a big bulge on the bumpy road, you are not sure if you can pass, and there is no other vehicle driving, you can drive close to the front, get out of the car to observe, if you can, and then slowly pass.
5. Install the protective plate, are you still afraid of the bottom?
If the driving speed is fast, the protective plate is difficult to protect and can damage the parts of the car. If the driving speed is slow, it can act as a protection. Stones pressed by the wheels can also be protected from damage to the oil pan. Therefore, it is necessary to install protective plates on mountain roads and construction sites frequently.
