Why is it that stepping on the brakes during the speed bump is the most harmful to the car?

All friends who drive know that to take the speed bump, you should step on the brakes and walk slowly. Then, why is there such a remark on the Internet that stepping on the brakes when crossing the speed bump is the most harmful to the car? Let the old driver tell you the reason.

Through the observation of driving at ordinary times, I found that most people will step on the brakes when they are about to pass the speed bump or even when they are passing. I can tell you seriously now that the most disadvantage of crossing the speed bump in this way is the front suspension of the car.

Simply put, the suspension is like a spring installed between the car and the frame. When passing through those potholes, the spring will play a buffering role, filtering out some tiny vibrations, thus ensuring the comfort of passengers and attenuating the vibrations caused by it! If you pass the speed bump quickly, it will have a huge impact on the car body, and the car is easy to support the bottom, which is even more dangerous for some cars with low chassis.

So how should we cross the speed bump? Let the old driver teach you.

Reduce the speed to 20km/h and pass through the speed bump. Passing through the speed bump at a speed of 20 km/h does no harm to the car, and the comfort is achieved. Balance the impact force on the tires on both sides, so that the suspension system on the left and right sides can balance the force, so as to minimize the damage to the car!
