Body mount rusted right off. Located right under front passengers feat.
 
08 Ford e series. Solidly in the rustbelt, just an odd place for rust to attack so violently. Same mount on the other side is fine. Passenger front floor pan and underlying framework is just gone.

More and more here it seems. Used to be just dirt.
One of the guys I work with doing snow haul does salt haul most of the summer.
Comes in on barges from Korea? (I forgot now)

Fuck.

I was doing some rust repair and parts-swapping on my wife's Subaru a few days ago. Putting on newer plate lights, I licked one of the newer ones to scrub it clean on my pants, and the road crust was all salt.

Time to start making a stink.

Mobile meth lab and they stored the chemicals in the passenger side of the van floor. Shit leaked out and ate the sheet metal away. Stop making drugs like that and this won’t happen anymore.

Find the .gov entities responsible for this and behead them in the middle of town. Like now. You guys have 3 times the winter as the rust belt and have been getting along just fine without that shit.

It's like a biting dog. You let it get away with biting one time and it's over... they bite everyone from that point on.
 
Rust is the common name for the chemicals that result when iron reacts with oxygen and water. “Rust” is poorly defined in chemistry, however—lots of chemicals can be formed when iron is left exposed. However, we generally refer to the red, flaky look that results from certain chemicals as rust.

I mean, I don't know what to tell you :laughing:
 
Ok, I'll give him the correct answer, corrosion, you're welcome.
 
You live in the wrong spot. :flipoff2:

My state is too cheap to put down a bunch of salt. They use magnesium chloride treated sand, but it only gets put down when the weather is right for black ice, and even then only in the corners. :laughing:

Mag chloride is more expensive and much more corrosive than sodium chloride.

Even to concrete.

It's just sticky. Wash my rigs anytime it's nice and I have no rust issues.

Plus, in my usual 260 mile weekly trip there's maybe a total of 2 miles of it sanded. :laughing:
 
More pics of the radius arm & mount, why does it look so weird?
 
Looks like a typical tube and sleeve bushing. Not the original donut style. Did they change in 08?
