How to Repair a Rusted Wheel Arch

Rear wheel arch rot is common in a lot of vehicles, and especially in pickup trucks. The rear tires spray water around, and road dirt, grime, and salt build up in the area between the inner and outer panels. This grime buildup can hold moisture which will eventually start to corrode the panels from the inside out. In pickups it's even worse because manufacturers spray a "sound deadening" material into this area. This material acts like a sponge that holds moisture. In a fairly short amount of time, that moisture will rust through the outer wheel arch of your truck, and you'll start seeing bubbles in the paint. Unfortunately, by the time you see the bubbles it's too late. The damage has already started. The good news is that there are wheel arch repair panels, and wheelhouse repair panels, that can help you fix this area.
