Is There Significant Impact When a Sedan's Chassis Gets Scraped?
1 Answers
Scraping the chassis of a sedan generally has minimal impact. If the scraping is caused by objects that aren't particularly sharp, like rocks, there's usually no issue. The exhaust pipe is located inside the chassis, and obstacles such as speed bumps won't affect it. The chassis surface is coated with a protective layer, so minor scrapes typically don't cause harm. Below are detailed explanations: 1. If the car's chassis is scraped by an unknown object and you're unsure whether it affects driving safety or remain concerned, it's advisable to take the vehicle to a 4S shop or repair center for inspection. Repair shops have chassis lifts; once the car is elevated, any scratches or damage on the chassis surface will be clearly visible. If only the steel plate is scratched, applying some paint is sufficient. However, if pipelines are damaged, thorough inspection and repair are necessary. 2. When driving over road hazards like potholes, depressions, or grooves that may scrape the chassis, slow down and avoid them if possible. Additionally, be cautious of curbs and speed bumps. A car chassis armor can be sprayed on exposed areas such as the vehicle's chassis, wheels, fuel tank, underbody panels, and trunk. Once dried, it forms a sturdy, elastic protective layer that not only shields against flying stones and gravel but also prevents moisture, acid rain, and salt from corroding the metal parts of the chassis, thereby preventing rust and ensuring driving safety.
