    Trip preparation if travelling on corrugated road

    Very timely thank you. (Writing this from Birdsville). Here's my left side hook after many km's of rough and corrugated roads. You can clearly see the wear pattern. Right side similar.

    Stainless steel is quite soft and its the grit that does the wearing.

    easy...

    a bit of dust or sand gets trapped between the metal and the rubber, the rubber gives up first and gets the grit trapped in the rubber... the bit of grit held by the rubber now begins to rub on the metal in exactly the way a bit of 1 grit sand paper would rub... add some more grit and how many thousands of bumps with the corrigations or the engine idling away or the suspension flexing up and down and...

    thats how rubber lines grind through metal.
