Ask an expert ↑Side damage occurs in T-bone collisions, impacts with parking barriers, or sideswipes. Structurally, the side of a vehicle is critical for occupant protection, so damage here deserves careful inspection.
Our advice: Pay close attention to the condition of side airbags and look for any signs of welding on the body pillars.
