Is it a problem if the Levin's chassis is scraped?

If the car's chassis is scraped, as long as the speed at the time of impact is not high and the sound during the scrape is not loud, the problem is generally not significant, and there is basically no need to worry. Below is relevant information: Chassis: The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system in a car. It supports and installs the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal driving. Function: The function of the chassis is to support and install the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the engine's power to make the car move and ensuring normal driving. At the same time, a good chassis can ensure the driver's life safety.
I have ten years of driving experience. If the Levin's undercarriage gets hit, you need to check the severity immediately. Under the chassis, there are the engine guard plate, exhaust pipe, and fuel lines. Minor scrapes might only damage the paint on the guard plate—just clean and dry it, and it should be fine. However, if you hear a loud noise or feel the car shaking, pull over and check underneath for any fluid leaks or metal deformation. I've seen a friend whose car got hit and the undercarriage damage led to fuel line leaks, costing a lot in repairs. The Levin's ground clearance isn't too low, but when encountering curbs or potholes, drive slowly. Afterward, it's best to visit a repair shop to lift the car and inspect the suspension and steering system for any misalignment, ensuring safe driving with no hidden risks.
