undercar
Beneath the automobile
Undercar refers to the components and systems located beneath a vehicle's body—the exhaust, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain.
The term appears mainly in automotive repair and parts contexts: undercar services, undercar inspection.
An undercar wash sprays the vehicle's underside to remove road salt and debris.
