I'm glad I dropped all that to clean grease from previous inner boot failures.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I got the triangular brace and side braces today during my ongoing wheel bearing sage. While the triangular brace and the side beams look good in bare aluminum they do appear blotchy as any 15 year old car would. What would you guys do, paint them with black undercoating or wire brush the aluminum ??

POST 3Original post

All of mine are on the floor. I have to clean all those items too. Thinking about wire wheel. Needs to look good and new. I'm glad I dropped all that to clean grease from previous inner boot failures.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Underside of mine was pretty dang clean, now to get that hub out and figure out what went wrong the first time and how I messed it up.

POST 5Original post

Mine were painted black so I wire brushed them with a flexible drill attachment back in December and sealed them with this stuff called Jet Laq Jet Laq 1200 Non Paint Laquer (250ml) RG75 Still look OK despite the UK winter and salty roads. I'm going to try some buffing compound when the weather gets better and re-do the exhaust pipes & cats. You should be OK wire brushing them.
