Will it be a problem if the chassis is scratched?
2 Answers
If the chassis is scratched, as long as the speed during the scratch is not high and the sound of the scratch is not loud, there will generally be no problem, as the chassis has a certain impact resistance. The chassis is composed of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system. Its functions are: to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine power, and ensuring normal driving. The maintenance methods for the car chassis are: 1. Regularly check the condition of the car tires; 2. Periodically clean and wash the car chassis; 3. Regularly inspect the operation of various parts of the vehicle chassis; 4. Inspection and maintenance of the car shock absorbers.
I've been driving for over a decade, and scraping the undercarriage depends on the specific situation. If it's just a minor scrape, like brushing against small stones on the road or speed bumps, it's usually fine—maybe some paint chips off, but it won't affect driving. However, if the scrape is severe, caused by high speed or hitting a pothole, it might damage the oil pan, exhaust pipe, or suspension components. Once these parts are damaged, they can lead to oil leaks or strange noises, making the car feel unstable while driving and even posing safety risks. I recommend stopping the car, getting down to inspect or feel for any oil stains or deformations afterward. If in doubt, head to a repair shop for a check-up immediately. When driving, try to avoid rough roads, and during regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to check the undercarriage's condition. Spending a bit on installing an undercarriage guard can prevent scrapes. Safety comes first—never take it lightly.
