I was under the car cleaning the rear frame rails off with a wire wheel on my pneumatic tool when I uncovered a tiny pin hole. I tried the screwdriver method of inspection.....that's when you hit the area in question with an old screwdriver and see if it makes a hole. If it does, you have bad rust and now a hole in your metal, if it doesn't it's called a patina.
I guess I'm ordering a full rear frame rail now as well.....or maybe just some of the pieces that are really bad.
Passenger side frame rail with a couple holes of rust before the screwdriver test.
Drivers side frame rail after the wire wheel, but before the screwdriver test.
