Altima Coupe - Really thin base? when u drive thru rocks...u hear every1 of them

[LegendRacer]

Now that its snowed in my area, the rocks have been scattered on the road

and everytime i drive the rocks would hit hte bottom of my car, and i can here it really well from hte inside...this is just really really annoying, but i don think u can do much about it, do any of u have the same 'problem' or maybe higher tolerance?

It's the rocks kicking up into the wheel well. That's normal with every car. Well at least every one that I've owned.

YES YES YES! ****! I thought it was just me, I've never had ANY car kick up so many rocks in my life!!! I have TWO gashes in my paint from STUFF being kicked up....

Tires would have a lot to do with that too, depending on the treadwear pattern. I noticed the wider the tread blocks, the more prone you are to kicking up rocks. With the factory Turanza's, it was a pretty quiet ride, but after slapping on my UHP's, I noticed the rocks more.

Makes sense, since you have more contact surface with the road...

im not sure about this but i think dynamat would help.

Spraying on some rubberized undercoating in the wheel wells would help deaden the noise some... A can can run for about $3-$7.http://www.partsamerica.com/Pr...=3280

lol and i thought id get laughed at for making this thread...

really annoys me hearing that noise... i can see those noise on a civic...not my alti

i guess sound deadening would help, but i dont really kno how to use it, and how to apply it since the wheels are in the way and its too cold to be doing it outside... -20 below in my area

Nah, no laughing. I have had it kick up some rocks, and it is quite loud. As far as the tires being in the way, I'm not sure how the tpms system is connected, but the wheels shouldn't too hard to take off (correct me if I'm wrong); but the cold... that is a different story. As far as applying the product (undercoating), it comes in a spray can. Cover everything you dont want any overspray on with paper (news paper and masking tape works great for me), and just spray it on like spray paint.

i wont be doin this for a while cause its freezing here, il wait til its warm and then get into it, and im not even sure where the rocks are hitting...

above and around the wheels? in the front and the back? kind of a pain to have to do this in ur own garage since il have to do one tire at at time
