Can rolling over speed bumps day in and day out damage your car?

Question

I drive day after day over speed bumps leaving my home and returning. Can that damage your tires or even the shocks on your car? Or anything else?

Answer 1

it dosn't matter if it is fast or slow it will cause lightly attached items like exhaust damage faster and also if you go fast over them you could hit your oil pan and put an hole in it that is very expensive to repair because you have to take the motor out of most cars

Answer 2

here to leave our complex you'd have to go over 18 speed bumps and on return to get home you'd have to go over 24 speed bumps. I complained to the management since my car insurance wouldn't cover speed bumps. I go as slowly as possible and also break a ways before the bump and still my car got it's bolt sheared off. Now I noticed the grocery store also has the speed bumps. I'd like to see them pay for ruining our cars since paying for this is out of pocket. The only thing I can think of is that some rich person that doesn't mind losing money to file against them take them to civil court for reimbursement. If they get enough of those court appearances they may either lower the bumps, remove them, or get better security (people) on the complex. My car won't go any slower and still move.

Answer 3

As long as you roll over them in a decent manner, like slowly then you shuldnt have a problem. Cause i know now a days people are so much into a rush and drive over them like maniacs. Now that will wear those shocks and struts down in no time at all. All year long or even just several times.

Answer 4

If you drive over speed bumps-It shouldn't hurt your tires-It could hurt your struts,springs-No steering stuff -only suspension!

Answer 5

Yes.
Tires, shocks/springs/struts and it can (and probably will) knock your alignment out too.
Unless you drive over them VERY SLOWLY.

Answer 6

If you drive over them too fast, yes.

Answer 7

if you abuse anything long enough it will show sooner or later.
