Are road conditions in Pakistan speed bumps, potholes damaging the underside o r mounting of the radiator in Changan Kalam?

Physical impact o r vibrations may cause minor cracks o r dislodge hoses. Is chassis-level stress a factor in radiator leaks?

Yes — especially in low-slung sedans like the Kalam:

Bumps, potholes, and uneven roads shake o r hit the radiator mounts o r hoses.

Over time, this causes:

Cracks in radiator tanks

Loosened lower hoses

Weakened brackets o r support plates

➡️ Users in areas like interior Sindh o r Balochistan report more frequent failures due to poor road conditions.
