Just curious if anyone else had to replace the rear axle control arms on an Expedition because they rotted out? They weren't bad ($40/ea.), but if they just used a different paint/coating, it wouldn't happen. I'm considering POR-15(ing) the new ones before I put them on.

 

just dont make them like they used to i plan of cleaning down to bare metal and primering and painting the bottom of my 97

so it sounds like you got the right idea

 

POR 15 is a great rust paint...I highly recommend it.

 

You don't have to sell me on POR-15, I already use it. I'm just pissed that such a critical part of the vehicle is made of stamped steel and has a cheap coating of paint from the factory.

 

never heard of por-15 i will look ino it thanks

 

I should do something for my trucks under body, its the King of rust
