Introduction to Kia Sorento Rust Issues
The Kia Sorento, especially models from 2005 and earlier, is well-loved for its durability and versatility, but like many vehicles, it is susceptible to rust in critical areas. Common rust problems in Kia Sorentos include the upper trailing arm, rusted sills, and fuel pump bolts, particularly on diesel models. Left untreated, these issues can compromise your vehicle's structural integrity and performance.
Lanoguard's Underbody Protection Kits are designed to offer a long-lasting, sustainable defence against rust, keeping your Kia Sorento in peak condition no matter the age or the driving conditions.
Common Rust Areas on Kia Sorento
- Upper Trailing Arm Rust: The upper trailing arms on the Kia Sorento can rust over time, especially in colder climates where road salt is a factor. This can lead to suspension issues if not addressed
- Rusted Sills: The sills, especially on 2005 models, are another area prone to rust. Rusted sills can weaken the structure of your vehicle, making it less safe to drive.
- Rust on Fuel Pump Bolts (Diesel Models): Diesel Sorentos are particularly susceptible to rust around the fuel pump bolts. This can lead to leaks or other fuel system issues if not treated promptly.
By using Lanoguard's Underbody Rust Protection, you can stop these issues in their tracks and protect your Sorento for years to come.
