My parts manual is in another town -- wasn't sure if anyone would go through the hassle of looking this up for me.

Doing shocks/springs, finishing the last corner (front passenger side), and was poking rust off with a screwdriver... which went entirely through the steel. So much corrosion, it looks like that thing was pulled up from the ocean floor.

I'm a decent welder, but I'm not sure if I should attempt to fix that -- it has a contour to it, and I wouldn't want to cause any alignment problems?

 

Eh, crap. Dug around some more with the search, and found someone says it comes as part of the entire assembly.

Soooo. Looks like I might just try to cut out the affected area and weld some fresh steel in there. Any foreseeable problems with doing so?

 

EBAY!
