Consumer Description

I HAD TO DO REPLACE A WORN ENGINE MOUNT ON MY CAR, WHICH REQUIRED LOWERING THE FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER (NISSAN SPEAK), OR CRADLE AS I CALL IT. I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT MOUNTING STUDS WERE EXTREMELY CORRODED. I DO LIVE IN A SNOW/SALT STATE, OHIO. THE REAR STUDS LOOKED OK. THE WORST OF THE FRONT STUDS HAD APPROXIMATELY 25% OF THE STUD ROTTED AWAY DUE TO CORROSION. THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE REPLACEABLE A BOLT, SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REASSEMBLE THE CRADLE WITH THE STUDS AS IS. IF THESE STUDS WERE TO FAIL, THE RESULT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS. AS A SIDE NOTE, THIS SAME CAR HAD A SEVERELY CORRODED FLOOR THAT HAD TO BE CUT OUT AND REPAIRED AS WELL. IT APPEARS NISSAN DOES NOT BUILD A CAR SUITED FOR THE SNOW/SALT AREAS. *TR
