Slush Collector
I was afraid for awhile that we might not get the typical snowfall this winter. Then February came and with it LOTSA snow. And 0 degree F temperatures. That combination seems to be a problem with the Pilot. It drives through the snow effortlessly (yea!) but collects and keeps alot of it along the way(boo). With the really cold temps it freezes in place.
The other day when I actually got to drive it, the Pilot had zero suspension. Hit a bump and man, you felt it. On closer inspection, I found, for the most part, that the wheel wells were full of frozen snow/slush with a 1" space between the tire. The front wheel wells worse than the rears. Basically one inch of suspension travel . Now that has got to be hard on the truck. I went to a self serve pressure washer car wash and spent $10 getting it all out. The pile I left behind was enormous.
Two days later...same thing...but mostly the front. Those shock towers are huge collectors and it just keeps building up.
My 93 Civic? Just the typical blobs hanging off the car behind each wheel.
