I know theses do out but i checked mine and i will double check to make sure but the front and back verticals of the crops member are solid. But the bottom plate sounds thin right under the control arm mounts.

Seems to be worse on the passenger side. So my question is since the sides sound solid would it be advisable to cut out the thin sounding areas clean the member out the use some east wood inside farm coating and welding new metal plate floors be a good fix?

Like wise would it be safe to do limited driving like it is? I had the car towed on a flat bed before and it didnt do any damage with the car jarring and bouncing and i am thinking if i can drive it safely i can put it on a rack at work to make the welding easier on me.
