just curious if anyone here ever hit a big pothole and hitting the bottom of their car on the road....and if it damaged the suspension or any other things on the maxima....

 

what speed were u going? feeling any thing weird after running over the pothole? it should be ok if ur max is not lowered.

 

When I lived in NYC I put a bubble in my tire. If you don't feel anything different, just visually inspect everything.

 

after i went over the pothole....everything was fine, nothing different...i wasn't going that fast...its just it hurts my heart to have to go over a pothole...
my car is not lowered...stupid roads....didn't even see the pothole...

 

you are just babying ur max too much

 

A bit new here, what do you mean by a bubble in the tire? Does it look like one of those cancerous tumors on the sidewalls? I think I got it the past few days in NYC while driving briskly from the manhattan bridge to holland tunnel via canal street.

Looking into replacement tires now... so expensive! :*(

Prob gonna get Michelin Pilots Sport A/S 235/50-17
(gonna stick with OEM wheels)

 

I did the same thing last week...

There shouldn't be potholes in Florida!

 

A bubble is a lump in your sidewall. You have to hit really hard to get one!

 

I hit one of those large speed bumps that are usually located in parking lots. It was in the middle of a rural road and was black with no markings. I hit it going 30mph. Although the car seems to be tracking right the suspension seems a little loose, kinda floaty. Any suggestions?

 

I actually have a friend that had a '98 SE 5speed and he drove through a couple of ill-placed potholes. He had no body/structural damage according to the dealer, but the jolt was enough to deploy both airbags and file and insurance claim.

 

Same thing happened to me a couple of months ago and I had to get a full alignment....

 

It doesn't appear that it knocked my alignment out, but the car does seem a little floaty. Maybe it was just windy on the highway.

 

Definitely get your alignment checked out...

 

yup yup! then me got a bubble on my stock potenzas...
no worries... already ordered new tires...
found out that my sidewalls were also cracking or something... and leaking air...
