Does anyone else have problems with the front wheels throwing dirt/mud/water all over the sides of their car?


I ordered and had the optional mud flaps installed, but the problem is still there.


Anyone have a fix?

I'm not trying to be insensitive or a smart-***, but the only thing I know is only drive on sunny days, and never turn the steering wheel (that's when you pick up the most splash on the side of the car, and the air flow around the vehicle throws it backward). I hate a dirty car, and probably spend a small fortune every year on washes, and I live in a "dry-climate' area. It's just one of those pain in the backside things that comes with pride of ownership.

if you live in a snow area, there is nothing that you can do about this...its not always coming from your wheels either...

No solution to this problem from me either. I live in Michigan and travel down a dirt road once or twice a week and always save a pocket full of quarters to squirt the damn thing off when I get back on blacktop.
