What is the reason for coating steel components with a special compound when they contact with an aluminum frame?

A) prevents corrosion
B) limits squeaks and rattles
C) reduce harshness in the suspension system
D) all of the above

The primary reason for coating steel components that contact an aluminum frame is to prevent corrosion. This is because when two different metals, such as steel and aluminum, are in contact, especially in the presence of an electrolyte (like water), it can lead to galvanic corrosion. The coating acts as a barrier to prevent this type of corrosion.
