used to be that you could fix most of the little things yourself. Not so much anymore. A few standard tools, an auto repair manual, and some good hand cleaner for afterward was about all you needed. Today is much different as vehicles have anywhere between 30 and 100 microprocessor-controlled modules. The systems themselves are far more complex, requiring you to have experience and the proper diagnostic tools to find out what is wrong and resolve the issue.

These changes in auto repair have also made it necessary to choose your auto technician with care. Not every shop has kept up with the technological advances and is equipped to properly diagnose module issues and know how to proceed. What further complicates things is that a module can put off an error code that has multiple causes. It takes more than just knowing how to operate the diagnostic equipment to know when a faulty module is to blame.

I think we all try to avoid potholes. Hitting one when you are going relatively fast can be a jarring experience, and it is really unpleasant. However, it can damage your car as well.

These are the parts of your vehicle you should be worried about if you accidentally drive over a pothole:

Steering System

If you hit a pothole, you risk misaligning your steering system. If you have noticed your vehicle pulling to the left or right while you are trying to steer straight, you could have a misaligned steering system. Other signs include uneven tire wear, squealing tires, or a crooked steering wheel while driving straight.

Tires

Potholes can damage your tires by resulting in punctures, bulging sidewalls, and excessive wear. If you notice damage to your tires after hitting a pothole, get it checked out as soon as possible to avoid a blowout.

Rims

Most vehicles are equipped with aluminum-based rims, which can suffer from dents if you hit a pothole hard enough. Bent or dented rims are bad news for your car, so be sure to have your rims checked out after hitting a particularly bad pothole.

Undercarriage/Exhaust

Did you know hitting a pothole can puncture parts beneath your vehicle or even damage your exhaust system? If your exhaust is making strange noises or your car is leaking new fluids, let your mechanic know and have the issue inspected.

Suspension

This one is probably the most commonly cited issue with driving over potholes. Potholes can damage and even break parts associated with your vehicle’s suspension system. Even just one bad hit can break a spring or shock absorber.

Clearly, potholes can cause some serious damage to your vehicle. If you’re wondering how to lessen the damage potholes may cause, here are some tips:

1. Slow down.

2. Don’t brake while going over the pothole (this can cause more damage).

3. inflate your tires properly.
