Will driving over rocks damage the car's chassis?

If there is no scraping on the subframe, suspension, engine oil pan, or transmission oil pan, then there will be no impact on the car. If only the protective plate or anti-rust coating on the chassis is scraped, it may cause rust on the car's chassis. If the car's chassis is scraped, it is recommended to lift the car and inspect the chassis. Below is relevant information about the chassis: 1. The importance of the chassis to vehicle safety: The chassis contains many crucial components, such as the suspension and subframe, which are vital to the car. The subframe connects the body to the suspension. If the subframe is deformed due to impact, it may cause issues like the car pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or misaligned wheels. 2. Promptly replace damaged chassis parts: If the subframe is deformed, it must be replaced immediately, and only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts should be used. If the engine oil pan or transmission oil pan is scraped, first check whether the oil pan is deformed or leaking. If it is deformed or leaking, the oil pan must be replaced immediately.
