What to Do When a Car's Chassis Hits a Step?
1 Answers
Here are the solutions for when a car's chassis hits a step: 1. Cars are designed with a certain level of impact resistance in the chassis: The most vulnerable parts of the chassis are the various pipes, such as the brake hydraulic pipes and fuel pipes, but these pipes are hidden and protected in the grooves of the chassis steel plate and do not protrude above the chassis level. 2. If the chassis gets stuck on a step: The chassis steel plate will make flat contact with the step, so the pipes hidden in the grooves of the steel plate will not be damaged. 3. If it hits a protruding stone on the ground: The impact is point-like, and the protruding stone is likely to hit the pipes in the grooves, causing oil or fluid leaks, which can be more harmful. 4. If the pipes are not damaged and only the steel plate is scratched, applying some paint to prevent rust is sufficient. If the pipes are damaged, a thorough inspection and repair are necessary. 5. To prevent severe damage from impacts, you can spray the car's chassis with an undercoating or install an engine guard plate.
