Is it necessary to install an underbody guard?
1 Answers
It is necessary to install an underbody guard because manufacturers often omit it to reduce production costs. Even if included, it is usually made of felt material, which only serves a cleaning function. Below is relevant information about underbody guards: Functions of underbody guards: The underbody guard enhances the flatness of the chassis, reducing air resistance during driving, and prevents mud and water from splashing into the engine compartment. In poor road conditions, it also protects the engine oil pan and transmission. Common materials for underbody guards: Common materials for underbody guards include steel plates, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and resin. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Metal guards offer high strength but may cause resonance and louder noise. Resin materials are lighter and provide better chassis flatness.
