While changing my brake

fluid yesterday, I noticed some rocks in a channel. I tried to sweep them off, and realized that the channel was over an inch deep,. I'll bet I easily had a pint or more of little rocks that filled it. Both sides have this channel too. Any idea what this does??????

you live on a gravel road?

No, but I got the car used with 40K and it's a 2015.

clean it out, that`s where rust will start with moisture laying in there.

I did and these are thin aluminum or galvanized steel. No rust so far.

That is your confirmation the car was a daily... yeah as other have said... get that out of there it will hold moisture and start rusting... sooner rather than later.

Yep, I'll do the passenger side soon.

LOL! I just checked, my Challenger has the exact same thing! But it is only half full! (I have 2000’ of gravel drive!)

Maybe it sprinkles out when you drive in the snow!

Seriously, this should be something everyone should stay on top of, especially if driven in salt/snow. Thanks for bringing it up.

I was wiping off the underside of my Super Stock and found that shelf also. The old Mustangs have the same thing and they rust there since there is no drain. Blow it out with air when you rotate tires.

Wow, thanks! Think I'd mess up my aerodynamics if I drilled some drain holes in each side???????? 😁

UPDATE: There was a lot less on the passenger side, but here is the total amoun

Where is this Kangaroo pouch located?

 

[baabootoo]

Front wheel wells, behind the strut.

 

[2ndAmend]

Inboard of the strut.

Did you vacuum it? I blasted mine with a garden hose and nozzle. Got about 99% out without removing the wheels. It'll be part of washing the car now.
