How to Lengthen the Life of Your Chevrolet Impala Hitch
You can count on your Chevrolet Impala hitch for any towing needs, as long as it's within the weight capacity that your car can handle. It's built tough and durable, and it's likely to stay that way if you do your part in keeping it well-maintained. Lucky for you, keeping your Chevrolet Impala hitch working excellently is easy and fairly inexpensive. Check out some of these maintenance tips:
- Prevent rust and corrosion by routinely checking for scratches or dents.
When there are scratches or dents on your hitch, it gets stripped off of the paint that's protecting its bare metal from being exposed to water and moisture. To keep your hitch from corroding, you should always check it for these types of physical damage especially after driving through a rough terrain. Refinish exposed metal parts with a color that matches your car's paint. Make sure that your hitch has been sufficiently cleaned before working on it. You can also use hitch covers for extra protection.
- Keep your hitch greased.
Grease up your hitch first before you take your Impala for a ride. This will prevent dirt and dust build up that may cause rust and friction damage. While you're at it, consider greasing up other parts of your towing assembly to keep your entire car riding smoothly. Use manufacturer-recommended grease and avoid abrasive chemicals.
- Make sure you install the hitch correctly.
Before you try to put the hitch on your Chevrolet Impala, read first the instruction manual that came with it. This will give you an idea on the tools you need and the procedures you have to do. Temporarily remove parts of your car that are blocking the area where you'll install the hitch. After you've successfully mounted it on your car's frame, don't forget to double check the connections and tighten up nuts and bolts carefully.
- Choose the type of hitch that's compatible with your car.
Different types of hitch are available in the market today but you can't just pick any one from an auto parts store and mount it on your Impala. Before you buy a hitch, consider your car's towing capacity first. You can either talk to the manufacturer or consult your user's manual to find out if the hitch is indeed compatible with your auto.
Whether you're racking up your bikes for an outdoor adventure or you're simply hauling a trailer full of your things, a hitch is a versatile accessory that makes towing safe and convenient even for your Chevrolet Impala. Your car's hitch is made tough; it's constructed and designed to withstand a lot of rough and heavy-duty work. But it's only useful until it succumbs to everyday wear and tear. A damaged hitch is very dangerous, just imagine your trailer detaching from your car while you're on the road. To keep these horrors from happening, always be on the lookout for the following Chevrolet Impala hitch problems:
Loud rattling noise
Have you been hearing annoying rattling noises from your hitch while you're driving your Chevrolet Impala? This persistent and distracting noise you're forced to put up with won't go away on its own unless you find its source and fix it. The most common cause of this problem is a loose tongue section that's knocking against the receiving sleeve. Check if the hitch pin that's joining these two parts is fitted snugly; make sure to tighten it if it's loose. You can also use anti-rattle accessories such as wedges and threaded hitch pins to help you protect your hitch from premature wear and tear.
Bent hitch parts
A hitch bends if it's loaded with a weight that greatly exceeds its capacity. This problem is not hard to spot, some deformation are so extreme that you'll instantly notice it with a quick glance. If your hitch is bent to a minimal degree, it's possible to hammer it back to its original shape. But for cases of a severely bent hitch, replacement is more recommended to ensure safety. It's dangerous to keep using a severely bent hitch; it's already weakened and the quality won't be the same even after you restore its original form.
Rusty areas
Rust is formed when the metal parts of your hitch is exposed to water or moisture. Check your hitch assembly for any sign of corrosion. You can also look for unprotected scratches or dents to see if rust has already formed over it. If you found rust spots over your hitch, sand it and apply a bit of rust-removing chemical to get rid of the rust buildup. Repaint the affected area to keep your hitch from corroding.
