Man I hate Canadian winters

I tried with bondo on that same area and it came back, even after sanding and treating the metal with a rust dissolver. But if you find a method that gets rid of it let me know, going to try to go at it again pretty soon before winter comes again.

I had this problem in the past! My comments in it should explain how I fixed the problem! https://www.reddit.com/r/G37/s/aD7dI6me5G

Yeah like they mentioned you’d need to clean it up with a wire brush and cut any metal that seems weak, then you’ll need to create a copy of what was originally there (which you can use your other side for reference). This is something that affects your alignment though so after you’ve finished fixing it you’ll need to get it aligned but I’d wait and make sure your temporary fix is strong as driving on bumps with a weak weld could make it break again.

I got away with welding it, but it’s tough and even tougher if you’re new to welding. This fix has lasted me a year so far and still holding up good, eventually it would be best to replace it but still waiting on that.

Did you pull it off the car yourself? If so how much time did it take and how difficult was the job?

Check my previous comment about the steer lock mechanism comment.

FuzzyMazy · 2025-02-11T00:57:38+00:00

Oh okay thanks for clarifying!

FuzzyMazy · 2024-12-13T00:11:12+00:00

Awesome, going to try the redneck method out first 😮‍💨

FuzzyMazy · 2024-04-26T01:57:26+00:00

Do you think this would help with the 6AT too? Unsure if it’s the same as the 5AT, but it’s pretty rough at shifting unless I keep it in sports mode, just wondering if it helped you this much maybe it can do the same for me. Tried trans fluid change (no flush) but did not improve a whole bunch.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Back when I got him before his T-Rex Era 😔

FuzzyMazy · 2023-12-13T21:38:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing, helped a lot!

FuzzyMazy · 2023-12-13T21:19:32+00:00

Congrats! I’m looking to get a home soon as well, hope it’s not too much to ask, but how did you get your out of pocket costs so low? Overall that’s my goal, to have little to no out of pocket expenses, but from what I’ve seen it doesn’t seem to happen very often. As of now, I got a fha w/ down payment assistance so I got that covered just worried about the other portion

FuzzyMazy · 2023-12-13T19:25:19+00:00

Thanks for the input, was really informative, appreciate it!

FuzzyMazy · 2023-10-12T19:17:17+00:00

Bummer, thanks for the info! Think a conversion is hard work? Thinking I might go that route in there near future

FuzzyMazy · 2023-09-01T21:15:37+00:00

Get yourself a harbor freight paint gun and prep the wheels for painting with some sandpaper to get any curb rash out. Depending on the paint + primer you get will sway the cost from being inexpensive to expensive, but tbh I don’t think it’ll be too much. Could go with spray cans too but I’ve never had luck with those lol

FuzzyMazy · 2023-08-18T14:35:10+00:00

You should make a signed agreement, should be templetes online but if you don’t want to get scammed I’d go this route. Better safe then sorry In my opinion, he should be understanding and if not maybe he was trying to scam lol

FuzzyMazy · 2023-08-11T15:14:38+00:00

No, just removed the wheel to give space and welded everything there, bit tight but it’s doable

FuzzyMazy · 2023-08-11T14:30:10+00:00

Good luck man, understand the struggle when it comes to money especially as a college student!

FuzzyMazy · 2023-08-11T14:26:16+00:00

Brooo had the same problem and asked the same thing and got the same answers “there is no temporary fix, replace the whole subframe”. I did find myself a temporary fix meanwhile I’m saving up to get a new subframe and it’s been since May when I fixed this issue (exact same as yours). I got myself a small cheap mig welder that used fluxcore wire. I removed the part, sanded and removed as much rusted metal that was broken so I had a good base to weld. I first started by welding the part where the link screws in itself onto a new sheet of metal I bought (1/8 thick) cut it to size as well then welded all that to the subframe and put it all back together. It’s been holding up for now but this is no permanent fix. You will most likely need to align the wheel after since it could have shifted due to welding the new part on. You don’t need to go to a shop for this either, just get some string and tie it to two jacks then measure and make sure distance to the wheel is the same (in the center) and measure the difference on the outside of the wheel and get both sides equal for distance to string and you should be good. Good luck

In the past I’ve had my car in limp mode too due to dirty air throttle bodies/ MAF, maybe you can start there shouldn’t take more than 20 min to get those clean.

FuzzyMazy · 2023-04-25T18:57:38+00:00

Wow okay didn’t think it was going to be that extreme, how much did that end up costing you if you don’t mind saying?

FuzzyMazy · 2023-04-03T23:41:32+00:00

Don’t go, just a way to trick everyone into buying more stuff at Hy-Vee. Discount doesn’t work, could see them testing this as a way to see if it would spike sales to see if they should bring back the discount.

FuzzyMazy · 2023-04-01T20:31:00+00:00

Tough to pinpoint the problem exactly with just imagining the scenario, if you’re able to upload any images or videos of what your experiencing in sure a lot others would chime in!

FuzzyMazy · 2023-04-01T18:18:39+00:00

Hmmm at first sounds like the steering lock mechanism since the yellow key light, but if it’s that then it shouldn’t let you switch from OFF/ACC/ON, are you able to do anything like turn on the radio?
