Random big bumps in Vancouver streets, caution to cars with low ride height

Last week I was driving and suddenly heard a loud metal impact sound underneath my car. I pulled over and walked back to the location and was surprised to see a big bump on the road like this:


Southbound Fraser & 43rd
https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.23093...8i6656!6m1!1e1


Then I hit another one today.


Eastbound Knight & 41st
https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.23268...7i13312!8i6656


I guess according to Google map street view, looks like these bumps have been there for a long time. My car is moderately lowered, so it's not slammed or anything like that. I can clear speed bumps no problem, so not sure if these bumps will affect any performance cars with low factory ride height as well. Just throwing the caution out there.

Watch for bus stops. Its where busses tend to sit where those occur.

If you drive a lowered car, most guys know the bumps around the routes they take, I know I certainly know where the bumps are on my regular routes, and I know where the construction is and I avoid it. Actually I also avoid newly paved roads for the first couple weeks, or until it rains enough to get the oil they spray with the asphalt washed away.

It's when you don't drive a route, or don't know the area that sometimes you get into a jam, I know I've smoked my aluminum belly pan a couple times on some bumps. Most of the time I am looking ahead and can move over, or air up and slow down, but sometimes they come out of nowhere.

With that said, the one thing that always peeves me, is the concrete patches left in the middle of roads, from mixing trucks or concrete pumping trucks who were too lazy to properly clean their trucks before leaving the jobsite. They leave lumps of concrete (sometimes quite large), right in the middle of lanes, So RIP to your belly pan, or oil pan if you are low enough to smoke one. The hill at willingdon and deer lake was actually one of the worse spots, and I noticed today that it looks like the city had come out with a grinder and removed all the high spots left from the concrete guys.

Fucking clean your truck out properly, I've worked with pumper and mixing trucks before, it just takes an extra little bit to make sure you spray out all the chutes properly.

Burrard and West 6th... avoid at all costs there's a massive dip+jump from a flat piece of metal they put on the ground due to construction... I could imagine a lowered car get its lip taken off there

Checked under my car.



Looks like it was my lower tie bar that took the damage.
Didn't realize that was the lowest point on my car.
