GranPrix Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I know that the 2nd gen w bodies have rot issues on the rear strut towers, my 1st gen w-body grandprix has the monoleaf rear suspension, and I was wondering if the 1st gen cars have the same issue? I know the 1st gens have trailing arm mount rust issue as my grand prix is starting to rot out there but its still solid. I would imagine if the 1st gen strut towers rotted out it wouldnt be too big of a deal as the car is suspended by the leaf spring... I just havent seen any 1st gen w bodies rot out there so I was wondering if anyone has seen that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution 94 olds vert Posted February 23 Solution Report Share Posted February 23 Eventually, they will rust out. It's not a common spot. Typically 1st gens are going to have TA mount rust, and some sheet metal rust by the rear wheels. jiggity76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggity76 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I have yet to see the strut towers rot out in the 1st gens. The TA mount area, most definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here, I've seen it a few times, but it's not that bad on 1st gens. 2nd gens the rear strut towers rot out really bad up here. jiggity76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
