Ford vehicles are well known for their off-roading prowess and ability to explore the wild with ease. Whether you have a tough F-150 or a legendary Bronco, these models are designed for fun. However, there are a few things you should do to keep your automobile looking new after an adventure in the mud.
If yours didn’t come standard with splash guards, then you need to get a set. These simple additions can potentially save you a lot of money - and headaches - down the road. Made of durable rubber, these flexible pieces attach to the inside of the wheel wells. Protecting the metal underbelly from moisture damage, you won’t have to crawl under to clean it after every camping trip.
Another purpose of these shields is to prevent salty slush from getting up into the engine bay. To ensure that they are doing their job properly, you should routinely inspect them. They can tear, which would render them useless at stopping water from damaging the electrical components underneath. Make sure that they are securely fastened in place as well.
