| Under Carriage Inspection |
|
| Take the car up on a ramp and with the aid of an electrical lamp on a flexible holder look for defects in the following: |
| Chassis |
| Hit the cross members or the frame with a hammer. You should hear a ringing metallic sound. Its absence indicates that the car was involved in an accident and welding was done to hide/rectify it. |
| Suspension |
| Check for leakage from the dampers. They should be dry and the bushings should be intact. Also check for any cracks on the suspension springs, inside tyre walls, damper foundation, propeller shaft joints, etc. |
| Leakage |
| Check for any oil leakage from the engine oil sump. Drain some oil from the sump and rub it against your fingers. The presence of any gritty metallic substance points toward the erosion of moving engine parts. Check for leaks and stains under the car, on the underside of the engine and on the engine head. |
