Front cross-bar rusted in half?
1 Attachment(s)
Yikes, I just replaced my steering damper, and like clockwork.. discovered a new problem as I fixed another.
So it's literally split - the two sides aren't touching anymore. I took a picture that I'll upload in a bit, but there's a large chunk (~6-8") missing between the two sections on the side facing the rear of the vehicle. Looks like it was hit possibly (previous owner) then proceeded to rust apart.. but I'm not sure. This is the bar that attached with two bolts on the outter side of each frame rail, then drops below the radiator just above the lower bumper cover, then up around the outside of opposite frame rail. I'm guessing this is structurally important? :rolleyes: edit: I kinda pried away a few pieces with a screwdriver to get to the stronger metal, which is why it looks like a larger hole. |
I think what you're talking about is just a bumper support bar... Not a big deal. BUT, how's the rest of the frame? Sounds like it may be time for a good undercarriage cleaning and then spraying with some Rustoleum Rust Reformer!
