How do I proceed and can it be fixed?

Scotty New User May 11, 2009, 4:06 AM Post #3 of 6 (3068 views) Re: Rusted out shock mounts Sign In The upper mounting area is rusted out, the whole underside of the car is pretty rusty (1987). Basically there will be nothing to bolt a new shock/strut to. Is there anyway I can fix this as my kid needs it for work this summer? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 11, 2009, 5:28 AM Post #4 of 6 (3060 views) Re: Rusted out shock mounts Sign In Your still not clear. Is it the part attached to the shock that is rusty or the body of the car? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. Guest Anonymous Poster May 11, 2009, 1:11 PM Post #5 of 6 (3053 views) Re: Rusted out shock mounts Sign In Sorry, the body of the car is rusted. I think my only solution would be to rivet some metal in as the surounding metal is rusty also and can not be welded?

That is a structural part of the body and requires a lot of strength. A body shop could weld in a replacement section but it has to be done professionally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
