Is It Serious If a Sedan's Chassis Gets Scraped?
1 Answers
The exhaust pipe is located inside the chassis, so obstacles like speed bumps won't touch it. The chassis surface has a layer of protective coating, and minor scrapes generally don't cause significant harm. Here is additional information: 1. Inspection Method: If your car's chassis is scraped 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; once the vehicle is raised, any scrapes or damage on the chassis surface will be immediately visible. If only the steel plate is scraped, 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 like potholes, depressions, or grooves that could scrape the chassis, slow down and avoid them if possible—forcing through won't help. Additionally, drivers should be cautious of curbs and speed bumps.
