This part – and there are a few different kinds, usually made of metal or a really tough polymer – basically shields the underside of your engine from road debris, rocks, and things like that. It covers vital components like the oil pan, the exhaust system, sometimes even the steering rack. It's not a fancy part, it’s really just a strong barrier. Some are designed to also help with aerodynamics a little, but the main job is defense. Think of it as armor for the bottom of your engine. It doesn’t make the engine run, but it protects the stuff that does. It's mounted underneath, directly to the chassis, and it takes the hits that would otherwise damage expensive engine parts. Depending on the vehicle, it could be one solid piece or several sections bolted together. You’ll notice if you don’t have one, or if yours is damaged. Without it, even a small rock kicked up by the car in front of you can cause serious damage. A damaged oil pan, for instance, could leave you stranded and facing a hefty repair bill. This part really helps prevent those kinds of issues. Especially if you do a lot of driving on unpaved roads or in areas with a lot of gravel, it’s an investment that can save you a lot of money and hassle down the road. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, different materials and styles to fit most vehicles. It’s a relatively simple install usually, but if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, any decent mechanic can handle it quickly. Next-gen performance: Protection (MPN 1Q0806497) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
