Car chassis maintenance is often regarded as optional, far less important than the engine and body. In fact, whether the car chassis is properly maintained is directly related to the safety, handling, comfort and economy of the car and other key performances, which should not be taken lightly.
The chassis is often overlooked
A car chassis is the part of a car that is closest to the ground other than the tires. During the driving of the vehicle, the sand and gravel splashed from the road continuously hit the chassis, the original anti-rust layer on the chassis was gradually destroyed, and the metal was exposed to the outside. In summer, the high temperature of the surface during the day makes the chassis extremely hot. At night, the moisture in the atmosphere slowly corrodes the bottom of the car that shrinks after the temperature drops. Day after day, one day we will find that the chassis has been riddled with holes. And few car owners will check the tires as often as they look to see if there is a problem with the chassis. The damage to the chassis will further threaten the normal use of other parts: steering damage, oil leakage, chassis deformation, and loose overall structure, all of which will bring safety hazards to driving.
Daily maintenance focuses on rust prevention
The most important thing in the daily maintenance of the chassis is rust prevention. In rainy weather, the road will be muddy, and a lot of sediment will be splashed on the chassis of the car, which is difficult to clean. After a long time, the chassis will be eroded, oxidized and rusted.
The anti-rust treatment of the chassis is best done in a professional car beauty center. Because there are professional equipment there to thoroughly clean the chassis, and then carry out professional anti-rust treatment. When anti-rust treatment, the coating should be sprayed evenly on the chassis to form a uniform anti-rust coating that remains lasting. After the anti-rust care is completed, be careful not to use alkaline cleaning solutions such as washing powder and washing spirit to wash the body and chassis, which will affect the anti-rust effect.
Chassis armor also depends on the situation
One of the most popular chassis protection measures in the world is chassis armor. As the name suggests, it is to put a solid armor on the chassis of the car. In fact, this is indeed the only way to protect the exposed parts of the car chassis. Professional chassis armor is to spray a special elastic rubber material on the car chassis to completely wrap the chassis and the noisy parts above the wheel hub. The chassis protective layer formed after its natural consolidation can reduce the damage of sand and stone impact. , Anti-corrosion and anti-rust. In addition, the chassis armor can also play a better role in sound insulation.
But not every car needs to be installed with chassis armor, it depends on the driving environment. If the car often travels on better roads, it can be omitted. However, if the road conditions are poor, it should be installed when it causes certain hidden dangers to the engine bottom casing or gearbox.
