jboulukos Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I was under the car changing my oil and I started looking around at the undercarriage. I happened to come across a rusted out frame rail on the driver's side and wanted to post pictures to discuss my options for repair. The passenger side looks fine however the drivers side has an area that is rusted out and obviously weakened approximately 12-16 inches in length. The sides of the rail are strong. I imagine the repair consists of cutting out the rusted and weakened metal and welding in a new piece. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there significant danger in driving? driver's side rail driver's side view #2 passenger's side rail Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Looks like the side of the rail is fine. I'd just chop the bottom off and replace with new metal.. then prime, paint, undercoat. As long as the side of the rail is still solid... you should be okay. 2 Quote Link to comment
