Which Rusts Faster, High Ground Clearance or Low Ground Clearance?
1 Answers
Low ground clearance vehicles rust faster because they are more frequently exposed to sewage and dirt, which can lead to rust. Timeframe for rusting: Areas without damage may not rust for five or six years. The vehicle's chassis is coated with spray paint upon leaving the factory. However, if the chassis is frequently scraped, the paint may wear off, exposing the metal, which then rusts easily. Causes of chassis rust: Summer heat from the ground, acid rain, and flying stones on gravel roads can corrode the vehicle's chassis. Exhaust fumes and noise can also seep in through corroded holes. "Chassis sealing" can help prevent corrosion, rust, and impact damage, while also providing some noise reduction.
