Re: Rusted/Cracked Strut Tower

You want to grind it down and see how extensive the rust is. When i bought my car the strut had broken through. You should try to do this as soon as possible because you could ruin your hood and possibly cause an acident. Here's a pic of what my car looked like. You can replace the entire part which goes from the front umper to the firewall, it's $250 from th dealer i can get you the part number if you want
