Hey guys,
I found another issue with my 2012 Ford Escape Limited. I was changing my tires from winter to summer when i noticed there was a hole in the front sub frame.
This looks unsafe but not too bad, I did some research and found out that there is an issue with the ac drain pouring water all over that passenger side sub frame causing it to rot out. Any suggestions on finding a replacement? Have you guys replaced with a used sub frame or bought a new one? Prices are varying in Canada between 450 dollars new to 650 dollars.
For safetys sake I think I should have this addressed asap. Is there anything else you guys think I should be looking out for. i was thinking of replacing the whole front suspension while I am getting this work done. Full front struts, lower control arms, sway bar bushings, stabilizer bars, tie rods. CV Shafts have been replaced when I bought the car. The way that this passed safety is past me with subframe rot like this.
