Subframe Mount Repair - Hole Location?
Hi all,
I'm repairing the infamous rusted out rear subframe mount on my 2003, the usual left rear one just in front of the spare.
Where does the hole end up coming through the floor pan in the cabin?
Also, to those that welded - how did you access the front side of the channel? There doesn't seem to be any access there.
Thank you!

Great job rebuilding the rear sub frame crossmember with some hefty plates and bolts. Seems like you inadvertently got a 1/2-1” subframe drop out of the repair. IMO drilling for two more bolts could help prevent any possible movement of the new structure.
Agreed…despite a strong case of OCD the other part of me says leave what’s not broken. And there may be enough spring/shock sag to make it look and run fine at normal speeds and loads1/2 in thickness added. I would balance it out on the other side but you know that'd turn into doing another top bearing plate when that bolt broke. It's okay for her to have one slightly longer leg at the old age of 325k, right?
