Rich Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Are suspension parts covered with anything to protect them from rust? My trailing arms and anti roll bars are covered in rust and bits flaking off them. I was going to wire brush them down, paint with that rust stuff I have and then hammerite them. If the rust is really bad should the parts be replaced though, do they become brittle and snap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 It's cosmetic mate..... At best just wire brush the surface and wax oil the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztecbandit1 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I usually brush them off and give them a good painting up with hammerite, Did most of the underside on my Lexus and will be doing nearly all the underside of the Skyline when i get chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aztecbandit1 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 When i was working at JCB, i'd take the parts into work and powder coat them, used to be great as i could have the parts any colour i wanted, and they were even zinc coated in the process Wish i worked there now as i've got loads of bits i could paint up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
