Is Full Underbody Protection Necessary?
1 Answers
Full underbody protection is not necessary. Common underbody damages: 1. Scraping or impact from road debris: Road construction in China often leaves large rocks or uneven surfaces. Careless driving on such roads can easily cause scraping or impacts from protruding objects. These unpredictable incidents can damage underbody components. 2. Chemical corrosion: The underbody frequently contacts sewage, grease and other substances containing corrosive chemicals that gradually damage underbody parts, making corrosion protection important. Emergency repair methods for damaged components: Brake cylinder fluid leak or pipe break: Create a small metal gasket to seal the pipe connection, or crimp/flatten the broken end to disable that wheel's braking. Low brake fluid: Use alcohol or liquor as substitute; water in emergencies. Swollen brake cup: Soak in hot water for 10-20 minutes to remove oil and restore size. Clutch disc slippage: Flip moderately worn discs; for severe cases, use layered fabric matching original thickness, secured with wire through holes. Broken tie rod end: Replace with similarly sized screw from bumper or non-essential area.
