It is necessary to replace a broken car underbody shield. The need for an underbody shield depends on the driving area. Installing an underbody shield can prevent the intrusion of mud and sand, effectively protecting the engine. It also effectively prevents the intrusion of rain, snow, and acidic water sources, protecting the engine or related chassis components from premature aging, corrosion, and rust. Here are other factors to consider when installing an underbody shield: Reduced heat dissipation performance, which can affect the engine's cooling to some extent. Prone to causing abnormal noises due to prolonged use or installation issues, which may lead to loosening, displacement, and resulting noises. Easy accumulation of foreign objects. Due to certain gaps, foreign objects (such as small stones) may get stuck (between the shield and the engine bottom) or roll on top of the shield, causing noises. More difficult maintenance. For example, routine maintenance of certain car models may require an additional step of removing and reinstalling the shield. Replacement method: It should be done at a repair shop because before installing the underbody shield, some pre-treatment of the chassis is required, such as simple cleaning and rust removal. After lifting the vehicle, align the shield and secure it with screws.
