Greetings -
Has anyone outlined a procedure for inspection of the suspension console – Passenger side? If you’ve seen any of my other posts, then you’ll know my teener is not short on rust repair needs. I have little history of the car and only drove it a few miles before determining the rust was bad enough driving it did not warrant my risk. I am working my way through the metal repairs. I understand one of the failures that tends to come with a lot of passenger side hell hole rust is the failed suspension console. I am looking for a method on how to test / inspect it while I have the drivetrain out and the car on jack stands. As always, I appreciate your help and support! Sean |

Take a pick, screwdriver, whatever & start stabbing.
Your looking for soft metal. |

It starts with a beer
Typically three beers is perfect for rust inspection Using a rustometer, which is similar in shape to an ice pick or a screw driver, poke at the area to get inspected. Once you think the rustometer has detected rust, your 4th beer may be in order . It is also advised to do your inspection with close friends that can help you cope with your findings. |
