Durring a Road trip, I take a big hole in road... and ...after... I hear ''tock tock tock tock'' passenger side between 80-90 km/h...

 

I stop on a side road, I check my wheel, nothing, my exausth, nothing ... I finish my roadtrip..

 

At my house, I jack my car .. I check .. nothing ... but when drop my car I hear this 'tock'...

 

I grab my traillingarm just to check my bushing.. maybe .. and it'S what I find .... When my car is jacked .. didn't move, but unjacked.... it's my problem

 

What I can do to fix this ? :S .. Weld my suport on the frame (around the hole) ??!

 

I don't know what doing

 

Thanks All

OH SHIT, that blows. It's going to take a bit of fab work and some welding and new steel to get it to be right again.

WOW.

 

I've never seen that happen before.

 

Take it to a body shop and see what they can do. Probably just the spot welds cracked. But they might have to cut into to it to get it fixed.

My 95 LQ1 cutlass sedan is the same way. mine is not worth fixing.

 

yours... Is that heavy rusting in front of the mounting area?

 

 

You should get it fixed. You will need to find someone who can weld and will be able to make good strong repairs to structural areas of cars.

 

do you still have the Z34 parts car? If that area is still good on that car, you might be better off having a good welder use that part of that car to fix the GTP.

[RedGTP]

damn :S ..

 

I do not have the Z34 since 2years.

 

I will check this weekand what I can do with this .. :S

cut and weld in a new section, or try and fabricate your own custom piece.

 

 

 

and after you get it fixed, oil spray or undercoat the hell out of your car.

Only a Canadian pothole could of done that!

 

Damn I hate our roads...

 

Good luck getting it fixed!

This is what you need. Newer W's use a bracket that bolts onto the body.. Look in the pic in the link and you will see what I am talking about

that happened to my cutlass 4 years ago 4 years ago. i paid $650 to have new sections welded and they told me to get rid of the car after a year. lol 4 years later and i still have it. i undercoat it every year. The mechanic begs to differ but i told him i thought it had to do with the way he lifted my car to do the front bearings . when they did the job they replaced the driver side trailing arm and now it is bad again. Good luck

[Dark Ride]

you can get just that mount from GM for the 2nd gens for like $10 each, might be worth a shot if you could weld it in place or something

[RedGTP]

yes, it's may be a solution !

 

I will check soon.. now raining outside .. grrr

[RedGTP]

F**K thats SUCK !

 

I have take pics yesterday ....

 

 

 

 

I'm desperated

[5speedz34]

Pics don't work.

[RedGTP]

sorry

 

It's ok !

[J]

looks like your going to have to cut out the rotted section and weld in a new bracket/ triangular "box" that looks to be rotted

[RedGTP]

I can take one in junkyard and cut in same place, and weld on my car ?

 

[J]

i would think so, but you'll need to leave yourself more material to work with and brace it. I'd cut as much as you can from a JY car

[RedGTP]

I have unbolted my trailing arm... I can make a hole and screw this support with my 'chasis' under a rear right seat

[Q-Ball]

Did you ever get this fixed?
