Strut mount completely rusted
Took car to a mechanic and he showed me the strut on the driver side back is rusted out and it's only a matter of time before strut goes into the trunk. He said there is no way to fix this.
Is there anything I can do and what is parts and labor gonna be for whatever can be done.

Re: Strut mount completely rusted
a body shop has to take care of this. costs can vary big time, I took an old escort in one time for this issue and it cost me $350. most places would give you a free estimate

$350 and I'm in.... I also need a hose replaced and a new muffler/cadalliac converter that's gonna cost me $400 with parts and labor..... If I can get the strut mount that's rusted out for around $350 I will get all the work done instead of junking my 97 grandprix gt with 145k.

Re: Strut mount completely rusted
just take it around for estimates. a belt and aftermarket cat can be installed yourself for less than 400 bucks. easy things to replace.

Re: Strut mount completely rusted
Yeah definately. For some reason the grand prixs leak at the body seams and run down the strut tower. A lot of times if you look you can see a small water trail/rust stain. I usually take sand paper and clean the area off and spray rust preventative spray then plasi dip to protect the area afterwards. I have done it to my past 3 grand prixs when changing the struts. My friends grand prix rusted out in the same place.

The other side was 98% rust free, is was fine. Don't know about the brake and fuel lines. Also the mechanic said my car's temperature's reason front running high was because of a leak in a hose, not what I thought which was the 2 gaskets.
