so this car i have only had a few weeks, 1991 navajo started making a really bad sounding shudder over every bump, it was coming from the passenger side. Well i just looked under there and then i looked under the front side and to my horror part of the "soup pan" (what they call it at the factory) also known as the upper front suspension housing had completly rusted through. If you don't know what i am talking about its right next to the coil and the shock, its just a bent piece of metal that holds the car to the suspension (I think) if anybody know the difficulty of repairing this or the costs involved i would greatly appriciate it.
 






If you are talking about the coil bucket (where the top of the coil and top of the shock bolt on) I believe it is riveted onto the frame.

A few minutes with a grinder and a punch, replacement bucket from a junk yard and a few grade 8 bolts, good as new.
