brake Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't recall any major rot under my car at the end of the trailing arm, or anywhere really. I don't remember what the trailing arm mount even looks like though - Anyone got a picture? If they're rotten, how hard would it be to repair? I can weld but have never done any frame repairs.

94 olds vert Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Like the others have said. Check the underside of your car in the major rust areas. Post up some pictures if you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Rear strut mounts too. Look inside the trunk. The main reason why I got rid of my white Lumina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
