Does rusted side skirts affect the car frame?

[OmarAnn]

Rusted car side skirts can affect the vehicle's appearance and its value. Once sturdy steel begins to rust, its strength significantly decreases, reducing defensive performance in the event of a traffic accident. Side skirts refer to the panels installed on both sides of the car body, which help reduce air resistance when the vehicle is driving at high speeds. Rust on car brake discs is a normal phenomenon. Below is a detailed explanation: 1. Minor rust: Minor rust often occurs, such as after the car is left in the rain overnight or when it doesn't dry properly after washing. In such cases, continuous braking while driving can help remove the rust, as the friction between the brake disc and brake caliper during braking will wear off the rust over multiple applications. 2. Severe rust: If the brake disc has severe rust, the entire surface may be covered with a thick layer of rust. Stubborn rust can also accelerate wear on the brake pads, so it's necessary to take the car to a repair shop to have the brake discs polished.
