I've Got Cancer.....of the Pass. control arn area Posted by Roger D [Email] ![]() ![]() |
So I'm sitting here feeling quite smug. Spent my first 10 years of car ownership in the Northeast. Rusted out trunks,rocker panels,frozen bolts etc. Now I'm in Calif. reading about your cold weather, salt damage, rusted floors pans thinking how glad I am to work on my Calif. Saabs. So I trade my 91 TC SE from Kansas with a hole in the floor to a Saab buddy for a 91T that needs a lot of TLC but looks very nice. Previous owner is from SF Bay Area. I note some underhood corrosion with modest surprise. I'm then digging under the back seat and find some papers dated 2001 from Maryland and getting worried. Start to re-place muffler and there it is. FROZEN, CORRODED BOLTs. Ugh, yuck, schmegma. So today it's front wheel bearing time on the pass. side and there it is just above the front lower control arm pivot bracket-CANCER. I poke around and out comes a cupful of rusty, flaking iron oxide. Is there a cure?
