Speed bumps can have a bad effect on your shocks, causing them to bend and even leak hydraulic fluid. When this happens one too many times, the shocks can no longer absorb the impact and protect your car's suspension and alignment. If the shocks are damaged, that also affects the steering. This is because the steering system is vibrating while the car is in motion. That can cause further damage to the steering system over time. If your suspension and alignment are not in peak condition, then eventually, your exhaust pipes can sustain damage from scraping or bumping against the road. This damage is more severe if you run over speed bumps at a high rate of speed. Moreover, your tires sustain damage as well if the sidewalls hit the road after a speed bump. Sidewalls are one part of the tire that should not come in contact with the road.
