this happened just a few nights back in RAK.
i was driving on a dark road when my front/right wheel ran into a deep pothole. as a result, the front/right part of the undercarriage was hit. the car still runs but i'm just worried about the condition of my suspension (springs, dampers, etc.). do you guys know where i can have my undercarriage and my suspension/wheels inspected? because i feel so uneasy about it. :(

dont get so paranoid... its a day to day thing.... your car is still new as i may say..

my car is 17 years.. still i dont worry when things like this happens to my car...

physically check it , drive it.. if there is no unusual sound then let bygones be bygones LOL

Hey there, my car's '06 too, ex-Hertz rental, has been tracked, I have driven like a maniac and still do. No issues. So relax, plus it's a Honda, they're rock solid (usually).

Haha, just relax. If it makes you feel any better, take it to Fast Track, and then another garage (a proper one, not the shady ones in Sharjah Industrial Area) for a second opinion.

as long the car is running and no annoying sound is there, then it should be fine.

just check the undies if there are parts that started to fall and while driving always check your rear mirrors (Y)

You're hopeless sharky! Don't you ever wash/lubricate your undercarriage?!

Steam washes were invented and developed for a reason. Period.
