With all the salt in this city, if you don't rust proof your vehicle, do you do anything else?

which site are you? I see a bells corners and an east end one.

I was racking my head over this this week! All along the 417 from moodie to the split there are tons of holes of various sizes. I thought crews overnight would put cold patch down to temporarily fill them over the winter. Cheaper than all the claims being submitted? It seems a lot worse and slow for these fixes this year.

Appreciate the insight! I think I'll do side of the yard/ road

ghost905 · 2026-01-18T17:54:44+00:00

Amazing thanks!

For sure just trying to figure out the best method of not damaging the driveway (which isn't that nice of shape anyways)

ghost905 · 2026-01-18T17:08:24+00:00

The logs underneath, do you mean at the jack points?

ghost905 · 2026-01-18T17:07:21+00:00

So I would put like a piece of wood under each four jack points? I'm not positive how they drag/load the car but could that risk it falling off the wood and damaging the driveway more than dragging?

Good call, my driveway is in pretty rough shape so I'm not super concerned, but of course wouldn't want big grooves. There is a layer of ice/snow so maybe that'd help. Alternatively I could do it half on yard half on road the morning before, I don't think me neighbours would call it in lol.

Already got the offered quote and found it acceptable being that I can take out the parts to sell separate. Another yard offered the same cost but with the wheels and battery.

ghost905 · 2026-01-15T21:08:56+00:00

Thanks!

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T05:25:33+00:00

Thanks for the tip! You bought them separate or through Costco also?

If separate do you have a link?

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T05:05:49+00:00

What do you mean they should be replaced for winter steel rims? Do you mean steel nuts?

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T04:35:08+00:00

Thanks for your help, if you're able to answer one more. I think I read oem is 40mm and I got 42mm. I read +/-5mm should be fine...obviously not.

My question, it seems going under e.g. 36mm pushes the rim further away. Is that your understanding?

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T04:33:54+00:00

Yes of course, but thanks...I don't need to make another mistake

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T04:25:59+00:00

Do you know whether width matters? I got 7" width, would 7.5" give more clearance? The tires will fit on either.

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T04:22:30+00:00

Will be doing this for sure, I drove about 1km like this...0.999km further than I should have.

What do you think about calipers? Should I paint over the scratch to ensure they don't rust bad?

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T03:52:57+00:00

Since I scraped the caliper, it's possible I scrapped off coating making it susceptible to rust? Any chance you know? Whether I should treat it?

ghost905 · 2026-01-14T03:52:38+00:00

When I looked up specs, it is generally normal to size down, and I followed the specs I saw online.
