How do I stop the bottom of my car from scraping on the driveway?
There are several ways to stop the bottom of your car from scraping on your driveway:
- Adjust the suspension: If your car’s suspension is too low, it will be more likely to scrape on driveways or speed bumps. You may be able to adjust the suspension or have a professional do it for you to raise the car higher off the ground.
- Install skid plates: Skid plates are metal plates that attach to the bottom of your car and protect it from scrapes and damage.
- Drive slowly: Taking it slow and steady when driving over driveways or speed bumps can help prevent scraping.
- Avoid steep driveways: If possible, park on level ground to avoid scraping on steep driveways.
- Check tire pressure: Maintaining proper tire pressure can help prevent scraping, as underinflated tires can cause the car to sit lower to the ground.
- Install coil spacers: Coil spacers are devices that raise the height of your car by adding space between the springs and the chassis. They can be a good option if you want to raise your car’s suspension but don’t want to adjust the suspension itself.
- Consider getting a different car: If none of these solutions work, you may want to consider purchasing a car with higher ground clearance.
- Install a driveway curb ramp.
