I was changing the shocks on the rear and noticed that the frame where the top shock mount is is almost rusted off. Will chevy pay to repair the frame damage because its a safety hazard. Why is it that chevy frames rust sooo bad? Why don't they coat the frames with something to they don't rust sooo bad. Ford frames don't rust this bad.
