I have a little rust and a crack on the bottom of the passenger side jack point.
Rest of longs, and hell hole is great. Should I just have the bad spot cut out and reweld in new metal, or replace the whole jack point piece. If replacing the whole piece is the right way, how do you remove the old one? Cut/grind it out or drill out the spot welds? Thanks, Tom Attached image(s) |

Dan,
Yep, I got caught in a light shower once! The way I'm understanding is just cut/grind out the rust and preserve? I like that even better as I don't have a welder. No, I never jack the car up with the jack points either. Just wanted to get the little bit of rust under control before it got out of hand. Had to remove the rockers to get the trailing arms off and noticed this. Thanks to all for the suggestions, Tom |
