I have a 95 maxima and the front frame rail that runs under the radiator is rusted out severely. I know this is a common problem with this year and model, but im very tight on cash and i need to know if this is a needed fix? It looks terrible, and there is an engine mount on the rusted out frame, but since its so common is it dangerous? Or should i not worry about it... Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance. :confused:

Unfortunately, the only proper way to fix it is to drill out the spot welds and replace the lower support. You may be able to find a shop that can weld some flat stock to reinforce to support. It really just depends how bad it is.

Its pretty bad i. Id say its at last a 8 inch by 4 inch hole in the bottom of it, i just dont want my engine to put too much stress on the other 2 mounts, and i dont have the money to fix it.
