Is it okay if the chassis is slightly scratched?
1 Answers
Exhaust pipes are located inside the chassis, so obstacles like speed bumps won't touch them. The chassis surface has a layer of protective coating, and minor scratches generally don't cause any issues. Here are some additional details: 1. Inspection method: When the car's chassis is scratched by an unknown object and you can't determine whether it affects driving safety or if you're still concerned, it's recommended to take the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Most repair shops have chassis lifts, and once the vehicle is raised, any scratches or damage on the chassis surface will be immediately visible. If it's just a scratch on the steel plate, applying some paint will suffice. However, if the pipes are damaged, a thorough inspection and repair are necessary. 2. Precautions: When driving over road hazards such as potholes, depressions, or grooves that could scratch the chassis, it's important to slow down and avoid them if possible. There's no benefit in forcing your way through. Additionally, drivers should be cautious of curbs and speed bumps on the roadside.
