BENT CHASSIS
A bent chassis refers to a car’s frame that has been damaged in a major accident. It is not safe to drive with a bent chassis, and it will need to be straightened. If the chassis is bent, the car may appear slanted, depending on the extent of the damage. It is important to repair a bent chassis as soon as possible, as driving with a damaged car frame can compromise the safety of the vehicle.
