6 signs of damaged car chassis, need to be repaired immediately

1. The machine is not working properly or making strange noises.

When moving, there are noises coming from under the car, especially the noise is louder and clearer when going over rough roads with many potholes, possibly due to the car's bearings and steering column tie rod being worn and loose.

This is a signal to replace the A-arm as soon as possible before it becomes more damaged and affects other parts of the chassis system and affects vehicle operation.

2. Exhaust system makes unusual noise

If you notice strange noises and exhaust leaks under the hood, you need to keep the engine running and open the hood to determine more clearly. The simplest case is a leaking gasket between the exhaust system and the engine or a loose bolt; simply tightening the bolts can solve the problem. If the main cause is a cracked exhaust pipe, you need to quickly have the car checked.

3. Engine power is reduced, inertia is high

When the engine only runs at low speed, the cause may be that the idle speed is too low, the tank has little fuel left, the filter is clogged...

Adjust engine speed at idle, add fuel, replace or clean filter.

4. Tires squeal loudly when stopping or parking

When there is a squealing sound from the wheel and a strong screeching sound, think immediately that the tire is degraded, warped... and of course, replacing the tire is necessary in this case.

5. The car pulls to one side even when driving on a flat road

The phenomenon of the car swerving to one side when braking is caused by uneven braking force on the wheels, one of them being covered with oil, or the oil line being partially blocked...

If you encounter this situation, you should take your car for repair, because prolonged operation will cause the car to easily flip over in situations of sudden braking at high speed or cornering.

6. Engine coolant temperature is higher than normal

Normally, the temperature of a car engine is usually between the two temperature warning levels H (hot) and C (cold). If the engine temperature is abnormally high while operating the vehicle, you should not continue to operate the vehicle on harsh roads. If the vehicle reaches level H, you should absolutely not operate the vehicle, continuing to operate the vehicle will be very dangerous for the engine.

* How to check the damage level of the chassis:

- Let the car run, observe the color of the exhaust. If the exhaust is black or white, it is not good. Black exhaust is due to the gas mixture being too rich or lubricating oil leaking into the combustion chamber. White exhaust is due to water mixed with gasoline or a burnt cylinder head gasket.

- Check the color of the electric candle. If the electric candle has an unusual color, it is also the cause of damage to the chassis.
