Pull out susp. part, sand coating them?

Hey! I'm paranoid about my car rusting away lol ( it's wintered now ) I've noticed a couple of my susp. parts are starting to rust (panhard rod, control arm, etc.) is it ok to remove them and have them sandcoated black or something? I'm also considering undercoating the entire bottom of it this spring, is that possible?

Also, I pulled out my driveshaft to have it balanced, and its rusting a little lol. Anything I can do?


Sorry, just in love with my car

If you love your car that much, you could buy aftermarket suspension. They come powercoated.

not everyone can afford to upgrade every suspension part with aftermarket ones at all once this just give an added bit of protection until those parts can be upgraded (if at all)

raxxus: i know what u mean about wanting your ride protected, since the new year i've been in the process of sandblasting and ceramic coating my suspension parts. i was thinking about havin them powdercoated, but realized it would cost too much, so instead i talked to a friend, and he recommended this ceramic coating spray(in a can) made by dupont which works excellent for protection.
he said that he had a little extra of this stuff left over after doing a homemade ceramic coating job of his headers, so he tried it on some suspension parts on his truck. its stood up quite awhile already, so i'm tryin the same. already done my sway bars, control arms and panhard in gloss black (looks like new)
