Hi I am in problem with rear control arm that fall of rear Cross member that was badly rotten due to Canadian salt on the road . So now I do have to replace Cross-Member (55410-2H100). I took to the repair guy who does my repairs regularly but he is reluctant to repair due to bolts that could be stuck in the frame. Please help me with any advice you might have about issue. How much should they charge me for replacement. Should I replace at all or car is done?

Problematic issue is item number 17.

 

I had similar issue with 2001 Elantra.
Spent lots of money fixing everything else on the car
Then when I saw how much rust would flake off when touched,I just could not spend more money fixing it.
So, junked it.

Yeah, those bolts will pretty much be rust welded into place.
Tough to do even with impact tools.
Good luck.

 

I have the same issue with my '03 Elantra. I also am curious as to if I could replace the cross-member subframe, along with any trailing/control arms that are rusted out.

Check out my thread for my 2003 Hyundai Elantra with a Rear Suspension Cross-member K-Subframe that is rusted in half!
