Not sure if this should be in here ot OEM tech, but I figured more in here would have made this repair.
Did a search, and nothing really adresses the issue I have. Plenty on general rust repair and floor replacement, but I only saw 1 that covered the spring hanger, and it only mentioned it.
The front hanger on the passengers side rear leaf spring has a rust hole and some cracking where it meets the floor pan and part the way up the wheel well. The floor pan is rusted thru at the outside edge of the hanger, and there is a crack in the pan above it. For now, it is solid, but I need to fix it before it gets unsolid.
Would a patch panel from the top work, or would it be best to weld in a brace from the spring hanger itself to the pinch weld ? or both ?
