Consumer Description

Noticed the left rear tire suddenly had a lot of negative camber and there were now clunking sounds while driving. Inspection showed that the rear crossmember is severely rusted with holes, cracks, and delamination. The left toe link mount is completely separated, the coil spring stoppers are detached and loose inside the springs, and the right coil spring has the top coil broken off. The front body connection of the rear crossmember is barely connected. The level of corrosion on the rest of the car is drastically less than the rear crossmember. Currently deciding whether and how to repair. (Pennsylvania)
