okay, i dont think this is a big problem but just wanted to make sure...
yesterday i was drivin through a parking lot goin about 20 or so, and didnt see this speed bump, actually its like a crosswalk, bout 8 inches high and 2.5-3 feet wide, i hit it pretty hard and bottomed out, could that have damaged anything? i havent noticed anything wrong but i havent looked underneath to check yet.

 

so look underneath...

take pics if u find anything disturbing

 

you probably just scratched the paint

 

i did that and blew a hole in my radiator at the bottom. fluid was gone in 10sec

 

you probley just hit the subframe and thats all but check to make sure your not leaking oil or anything

 

okay ill check on it. i havent noticed any leaks or anything. i just wanted to makesure nothing was down there that could be broken off and stuff like that.

 

theres a **** load of stuff that can be damaged.

 

okay. thanks for the input everyone
if i find anything ill make sure to post

 

agreed but most of the time when you bottem out you hit the subframe, if you get down there and there is no fluid down there look for the scrape marks and that will tell you what you hit

 

yeah, just looked, i didnt see any dents or bad scrapes or anything. im probably thinking it was worse than it was.

 

yea but weird things get hit so often that you wouldnt expect, a thorough check would be the only way of knowing.

 

No more offroading for you.

 

yeah, you know whats funny i was just under my car doing my tranny mounts about 30min ago and noticed alot of scrapes on the subframe and i didnt think ive ever even bottomed out

 

lmao why not?
my car is considered a 4x4 by most of you guys hahah.
in my opinion it looks fine w/out springs.

 

hehe, U want to see a 4x4, check my car out LOLOLZ

 

speeking of 4x4 i saw a 4 door silver cobalt the other day with steelies and guess what it said on the back, "COBALT LS 4X4" Just like that, it made me throw up in my mouth lol

 

haha

 

i was goning to tell him to just sell the car cause he was a discrase to cobalt owners but he turned off onto a side street

 

I bottom out on my exhaust, part of my catback is so low it is only about 3" off the ground.

 

yea ur cool

 

lol why?

 

Idk, it is the elbow right infront of the rear wheel that goes from straight back to 90* towards the driverside.

 

Get springs and you will see what we are talking about.

I couldn't quite see it either until I installed them on my car.

 

I deffinately agree.

 

i just got my car stuck on a huge rock on saterday. it took 5 guys to push it off the rock. im scared to look under it.
