What is the bottom?
If you want to know what the harm is, you must first know what the bottom is. As the name implies, dragging the bottom means that bumps on the ground contact with automobile chassis parts, destroying the mechanical structure of automobile chassis parts or causing automobile parts to move, which has great influence on the safety and performance of automobiles.
What are the hazards of bargain hunting?
1, the exhaust pipe is broken
The exhaust pipe is very fragile and is located at the bottom of the vehicle. When it touches a hard stone knife, it even slips. Speed bumps are very common. They vary in height and shape. Some are higher or wider, and some owners have no habit of slowing down after passing the speed bump, which is very acceptable to cause the exhaust pipe to rupture.
2, cross arm deformation
Automobile tires are limited by five angles in space, which affects the steering control and torque transmission of automobiles. When the bottom of the car is supported, the cross arm of the car is easy to deform, which has a great influence on the accurate tire positioning parameters. When the car turns at high speed, it has a very bad influence on the handling safety, so it is best to go to a professional institution to maintain the four-wheel alignment parameters when carrying out bottom maintenance.
3. Brake pipe leaks
4. The oil pan is broken
If the car drags the bottom, the oil pan of the engine transmission is easy to break, causing oil leakage, which is also the easiest damage to find, but it should be repaired in time, otherwise the damage to the engine will be permanent. Engine maintenance is the most complicated and expensive in vehicle maintenance, and the adjustment parameters of the original factory are destroyed after engine maintenance.
How to deal with it?
Since the chassis of many cars with bottom supports is damaged so much, we should try our best to avoid this situation. Therefore, when driving, you should fully understand the clearance distance between the vehicle and the ground, be aware of it and try not to touch the ground. Specifically:
1, know the gap between the car and the ground.
The most useful way to reduce the bottom damage is to prevent the bottom as much as possible. So we always have to have a clear understanding of the ground clearance of our car.
2, chassis spraying armor
Painting armor can prevent sand from colliding with the chassis when reversing, and the owner does not prevent another layer from being painted to maintain the integrity of the chassis!
3. Install the engine cover.
The engine guard can protect the engine from the impact of pavement gravel and the scraping of foreign objects. For models without this guard, you can choose metal, plastic, resin and so on.
Chassis, as one of the important parts of automobile, supports and installs the automobile engine and its parts assembly, and its quality is related to the stability and comfort of automobile. Therefore, we must pay attention to maintenance and try not to drive on uneven roads.
