Winter is over and it's time for you to give your vehicle some TLC
Did you know that the undercarriage of your vehicle is just as important to maintain as the engine. Vehicle undercarriages take quite a beating from less-than-ideal road conditions. This area is one that gets less attention maintenance-wise compared to the rest of the vehicle.
Undercarriages have numerous important parts like front and rear axles, the muffler, brake lines, exhaust, and transmission system. They all reside underneath the car, and taking care of them is as equally important as maintaining engine performance. Be sure to check and clean it from dirt, mud, rocks, ice, salt, and other debris.
Driving over rough roads causes rocks and gravel to batter your undercarriage surface, chipping the coating and exposing the metal to rust formation.
A dirty and grimy undercarriage prevents the engine and transmission from dispersing heat effectively, which often leads to overheating problems. Maintaining a clean undercarriage keeps these heat-generating parts operating at normal temperature. Also, letting dirt and mud cake your undercarriage exposes metallic parts like the gas tank and muffler to rust and corrosion.
