Comprehensive analysis of correct maintenance of automobile chassis

The chassis is a very important part of the car, but most car owners ignore the protection of the chassis

In the second-hand car market, car owners judge the quality of the vehicle, and looking at the chassis is one of the most intuitive judgment criteria. Jiahangaero believes that the potholes on the road, the sun's baking on the ground, rain, moisture and salt in the atmosphere will all erode the chassis.

Chassis damage affects the entire vehicle structure

For a car, the chassis ensures the safety of the vehicle and its owner. Generally, new cars will be sprayed with anti-rust primer when they leave the factory, but they will still slowly oxidize after a period of time. Once the chassis parts are rusted, it will cause the structure of the vehicle to loosen, which will bring potential safety hazards. Many traffic accidents are caused by the loose chassis. Some manufacturers will add bottom guards to the car engine, and car owners can choose it according to their needs.

Chassis daily maintenance

Among the many maintenance items of a car, chassis care is most likely to be ignored by car owners. If the car owner often runs long distances, to the construction site and other places, then the chassis must be washed frequently, and the chassis should be thoroughly cleaned and rust-proofed.

Jiahangaero believes that it is generally difficult for car owners to clean the chassis by themselves. If there is too much sludge on the chassis, it is necessary to clean it with a degreasing detergent. Therefore, car owners can go to a professional beauty shop for regular professional chassis care. Generally speaking, the chassis after anti-rust care should achieve the effect of almost no water droplets after high-pressure water spray washing, so as to achieve a good anti-rust protection effect.

In addition, in daily car washing, be careful not to wash the body and chassis with alkaline cleaning agents, washing powder, etc., otherwise it will affect the anti-rust effect and shorten the anti-rust time.

Inspection of chassis parts

Add a layer of protective film to the chassis

The best way to protect the chassis is that in addition to regular inspections, you can also carry out chassis armor construction for your car. Not all vehicles need chassis armor. For example, if you often drive on good roads, you don't need to install it.

Jiahangaero believes that the construction process of chassis armor is more demanding. First, the staff will remove some chassis accessories such as tires and brake pads, and thoroughly clean the bottom of the vehicle; after cleaning the residual impurities on the chassis, the staff will dry the water stains on the chassis, and then spray the chassis with elastic plastic material to protect the chassis. The master reminded that the chassis armor has very high professional requirements, so the car mainly chooses a regular auto repair shop.
