1) Galvanization is a sacrificial coating. Once it's been used up, the steel is next to go.
2) There are several aluminum/plated steel interfaces, these are not completely neutral, galvanically, so in the presence of a salt, the materials will corrode more quickly.
3) bearings, bushings, clamps, ect are susceptible to corrosion because salt can find it's way into places that are not easily reached with a hose.
Clutch sticking & whining. Undercarriage rust. :(
Rust in the engine compartment?
