While beach driving offers the thrill of adventure and exploration, it also exposes your vehicle to harsh elements that can take a toll on its suspension system. Sand and salt, ubiquitous features of beach environments, can wreak havoc on suspension components, leading to accelerated wear and potential damage.

Sand particles infiltrate crevices and joints in the suspension, causing friction and abrasion that can degrade components over time. Meanwhile, salt, known for its corrosive properties, can corrode metal surfaces, weakening suspension parts and compromising their functionality.

To mitigate the detrimental effects of beach driving on your suspension, it's essential to rinse your vehicle thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to sand and salt. A thorough washdown helps remove abrasive sand particles and neutralises corrosive salt residue, preserving the integrity of your suspension system and prolonging its lifespan.
