The car chassis is a detail that is easy to be overlooked when maintaining a car, and many car owners do not pay attention to it when maintaining the car, and may occasionally think of it before taking a look. However, if the car chassis is not well maintained, chassis rust, chassis oil leakage and other failures will follow. In order to solve these problems, many drivers will install chassis armor or chassis guards, but the difference between the two is several times, which is more practical? In addition, if the engine guard plate is installed, will it affect the sinking of the engine in the event of a collision, or affect the heat dissipation of the engine, today Tutu will discuss this problem with you.
First of all, it is necessary to make it clear that the role of the engine guard plate and the chassis armor is different, just like the relationship between our mobile phone case and the tempered film is the same, first of all, the chassis armor, many friends hear this name, they may take it for granted that this is to wrap the chassis with an iron sheet similar to armor, but it is not. Chassis armor is actually a kind of soft elastic rubber asphalt coating, the most important role is actually anti-rust, anti-corrosion, prevent sand and gravel splashing, and have a certain noise reduction effect.
To put it bluntly, chassis armor is to spray a layer of rubber asphalt coating on the chassis of the vehicle, and the price is actually not expensive, and it can be done for a few hundred dollars. Chassis armor, if you say that the air in your area is usually humid, or it often rains, worry about the corrosion of the chassis, plus if the anti-rust treatment of the chassis itself is not very good, plus you often need to walk on bad roads, to prevent some sand and gravel splashes, etc., in this case it is still necessary to spray the chassis armor.
In addition, it is the engine guard, whether the engine guard needs to be installed depends on the specific model, including the specific car situation, if it is usually only used in the city, and now many cars have a thin layer of guard, although the original factory is very thin, but it is completely enough to deal with the situation of urban cars. Of course, if you say that you are more cherished of the vehicle, or that you usually not only run in the city road, occasionally use the car in poor environmental conditions, worry about bumping into the chassis, choose to install the engine guard, Tutu recommends that you first choose a resin guard, because the heat dissipation effect of this guard, including elasticity, is better, even if some serious collisions occur, the impact on the engine sinking is not great.
Another point is to try to choose a slightly higher price, Tutu is not to let everyone spend more money, because the general price is a little higher, the design structure can be more reasonable, because there are many design structures are not very reasonable this kind of engine guard, after installation, it is better not to install.
Because now the chassis of the car belongs to the full frame, and some belong to the half frame, that is, in the position of the engine gearbox, for the whole frame, the protection of the entire engine and gearbox is still relatively good, and there is a focus point, and the protection of the engine can be better by installing the guard plate of the engine. And if it is for the structure of the half-frame, just make a half-frame ingots beam, in this case the front of the engine itself is not a force point, suspended, installed an engine lower guard, but also installed metal alloy, in the case of chassis scratching, it is very likely that the engine gearbox did not suffer any damage, but it is possible because of the installation of the engine under the guard, and then lead to the tank frame to be directly broken, which is a bit more than worth the loss.
Therefore, before installing the engine guard, we need to look at the chassis structure of our vehicle, whether it is a full frame or a half frame, and try to choose to install a more reasonable design, preferably made of resin, which is relatively good for heat dissipation and reliability. Of course, many friends must think that the protection ability of the engine guard plate of metal alloy must be better, but if you encounter some big bump impact and directly break down the oil leakage of the fuel tank bottom shell, this worry is actually completely redundant, because even if it is the lower engine guard plate of metal alloy, it can not prevent this kind of bump collision that can break through the oil pan and cause oil leakage.
Therefore, as long as you choose a resin one, as long as the structure is reasonable and flat, and it conforms to the frame structure of our car chassis, there is no problem. So I don't know if your car has been sprayed with chassis armor or whether the engine guard plate has been installed? Which of the two do you think is more recommended? Welcome to leave a message**.
