| Description of the problem | Due to excessive rot that is common on this vehicle, while traveling i hit a bump and snapped my driver side control arm. This consequently made for a dangerous ride. While attempting to repair it i noticed how bad the frame was rotted, but unlike normal circumstances where the outside and inside would have equal corrosion. The inside was rotted much worse, and parts of the frame easily crumbled. |
