Why is it important to check the frame and chassis during the inspection?

Checking the frame and chassis during the inspection is crucial because it helps ensure that there are no cracks, bends, or other signs of structural damage. The frame and chassis are fundamental components of a vehicle’s structure, providing stability and support for the entire body and the load being carried. Any damage to these parts can compromise the vehicle's safety and functionality, potentially leading to catastrophic failures while on the road.

Structural integrity is vital for maintaining proper alignment and ensuring that the vehicle can handle the stress and strain of regular use. If the frame is compromised, it can affect handling, braking, and overall control, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, inspecting these areas for any signs of damage is essential to maintain vehicle safety and reliability.
