Colin747 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 While getting the W-Brace replaced on my 350 today my mechanic phoned to say he'd found serious rust and sent a couple of pictures. I'm just wondering if anyone has come across something similar and if anyone would have any idea what the costs involved in fixing this would be? My mechanic mentioned that the rear suspensions and fuel tank may have to be removed to establish how extensive of a repair will be needed.

docwra Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Its definitely rust ......... but the pics dont give much more than that away TBH. Would need something a bit less zoomed in to get any kid of idea but he may well be right as regards diagnosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatonm90 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Looks like possibly the tank shield from the pictures, about £100 from Nissan. It unbolts not sure what else has to come out though, exhaust/propshaft etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Looks to me where the plastic shield bolts on at the end of the w brace. Not sure wether that bit is replaceable or some welding is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
