Yes. Those potholes could totally wreck a hub bearing unit... and speedbumps taken fast to save fuel!

Was that an effective mod for you? Where were they placed, exactly?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
