The vehicle was taken to a collision shop and they stated that the passenger side front shock tower and wheel well wall was completely rusted. Metal was welded to reinforce the shock tower. Approximately two years later, the front driver's side shock tower and wheel well wall rusted through with more extensive damage. The current mileage was 107,000 and failure mileage was 97,000.
