corrosion

I'm looking for some help addressing some corrosion on my exhaust flange where the muffler meets the catalytic convertor y pipe. I am changing out the muffler as I inadvertently damaged it. Things I've tried: wire wheel brush - doesn't do anything Screwdriver - does chip the corrosion away...

Hi everyone! A couple weeks ago, I bought a new battery for my hundred series, and replaced the positive terminal as it was very corroded. A few days ago, I went to the truck and found that it was completely dead. I jumped it, charged it up, and drove it for a few minutes. Three days later...

anyone on here own the 100 on the front royal corrosion control's site? was just looking at their site and it seems like it may have been posted to their FB in august. just looking to see if it was a good experience etc. seems like it may be worth doing if you, like me, are not the type to...

Looking for advice on this runaway corrosion on the frame. It’s the left side rear near the spring. It looks like one of the pre-drilled holes got carried away and this was never addressed. Strange thing is there is zero body rust and the paint is 9/10 for a 2002. If I can find a body shop...

I know this has been done before, but I was looking for input for my specific situation. We live in Ohio and just picked up a couple of new GXs. They will be exposed on a limited basis to the salted roads in Ohio. We try to avoid slopping around on the salt covered roads, but sometimes we just...

2001 LC100, in the UK. - Drives brilliantly, great interior, no major issues beforehand - Will not pass its MOT due to corrosion - Service centre suggests the corrosion is bad enough that nothing can be done - Looking for advice on whether someone has managed to overcome similar corrosion with...

Bought this "rust free, we don't salt roads in Colorado" 80. Didn't consider looking under the carpets, since it seemed really rust free compared to "out east" corrosion levels. Sadly it had several through body holes, front of both rear fenders and rear of another. Make sure you do your...

Ok, the rust has slowly gotten worse over the last 5 years…what is the best way to go about dealing with this? Wire wheel is incredibly tedious and i can’t get in the small nooks and cranny’s ….fluid film? Should incapsulate it? Pics are of the worst spots….obviously worse by exhaust. Front end...

Hard-On by woolwax™ is for that application where a permanent coating corrosion protection coating is needed, or preferred, over a maintenance type application that needs to be recoated every couple of years. Hard-On by woolwax™ is a high performance, water based permanent 1-time hard shell...

We're all aware that the KDSS bolts and housing are prone to corroding (located on left-hand side, below 2nd-row door, attached on inner frame rail). The bolt style pre-2018 model year was an Allen-head bolt, which have been observed to strip easily or break the narrow Allen bit when corroded...

My 84 FJ60 ac started to whine not loudly but noticeably, and as it whined the AC got warmer and warmer. Finally I decided to put in some R-134 into the system where I noticed some bubbles coming out of the front compressor body seal. I ordered up a cheapo kit from autozone (didn't have all the...

I live in the Rust Belt (Indiana). I've had my '04 since new. Garage kept, dealer serviced, winter driven. No off road and only 115K . OEM Had '99 with 298K. 4th owner. Rust everywhere underneath. Ran like brand new, just eyesore under her garters. Rust and corrosion live in the undercarriage...

Posted a few years ago about this. Just had my second Krown treatment applied to my '98 LC. This stuff is very effective. A new Krown dealer opened up here in Michigan so I don't have to go to Canada anymore. For those who haven't heard of their process, basically they initially drill small...

I dropped in a new battery and saw a drop of green coolant hanging about: for shame! My reservoir has gone from full to empty over the course of ~6 months, and I've never seen a drop hit the ground or a puddle under the car. And I looked a lot because I had a leaking inner axle seal so I was...

Installed a second marine battery in my cruiser and did all the battery cables myself with a hydraulic crimper. The terminal for the 1/0 AWG winch cable is copper and the 2 AWG wires for the dual battery system are tin plated copper. I am already noticing small amounts of white oxide due to...

Well since I've been crawling around on everyone else's threads for a long time now, I thought I would finally share a little too. Since we've all seen the same ole, same ole, I thought I'd just get it out of the way and dump my entire car cleanup photo reference library folder into QuickTime...

OK, under the LC today to change engine oil and filter and having a general look around, my attention is once again drawn to rust caused pitting on the swivel balls. Not leaking as per oil contaminated, just the fact that as you turn the pitting picks up grease and brings it outside the seal...
