Salt is used to melt snow but it can wreck havoc to the underside of the car.

You can have your undercarriage sprayed with 3M undercoating spray.

 

Washing your car after the roads are salted.. Undercarriage wash.. painting bare metal.. someone went into it really well on this forum but I don't know where the thread is

That's an easy to replace part at least

 

Boy mine is rusty, but I don’t think it’s that bad. I’ll have to get under there again and check

 

It's the cost of living up North. Like Frankn said, washing the underside of the car is crucial to preventing rust. And, if rust starts to form, to sand the metal down and paint it with both a primer and a basecoat. Preferably Rustoleum.
