rust

Hi all - recently purchased my 2002 LeSabre with 95k miles and would love to connect with other 00-05 LeSabre owners in the Chicago area or midwest. I'd love to discuss ownership stories, maintenance, rust prevention, general tips and "watch-outs", mechanic & body shop recommendations in the...

Got in my 04 Park Avenue to head off to work and heard something scraping underneath. Brought it back home, parked it and took the family van into work instead (terraza of course). Anyway it looks serious but I honestly haven't a clue what exactly "IT" is and I am at work thinking I'm gonna be...

Hi everyone. I have a 02 Ultra and the unibody rail is rusted out on the drivers side. The rust is not near the cradle mounts and they are solid. I have cut out the rusted area and it looks reparable to me. I’m just looking too see if anyone has safely repaired this and the process they used. I...

Our 2003 LeSabre that I was checking in on today. Wow. Removed the rocker covers. The driver side rear dog leg is SHOT. The hole is about big enough to fit hand in. The under body is still relatively clean. Got all the loose rust off, then hit it with rusty metal primer followed by undercoating...

I've ordered a replacement for both axle nuts for my 2015 Verano. Would anyone have any suggestions for removal of the old one? I am planning on using some WD40 rust penetrating spray and then going over the rust with a wire brush/ sanding disk on my dremel, then using a breaker bar. Also, is...

I have a 2016 Buick Regal. I was getting it washed up today due to all the snow and salt on my car when I noticed 3 deep scratches on the front third of the driver's side rocker panel. Are these rocker panels made of plastic or metal? Worried about rusting. Thanks!

I tried looking in different 3800 forums regarding this but came up dry with exactly what I was looking for. I was doing a once-over of our 2003 LeSabre Limited and checking under the mats of the floor including the trunk for water or wet spots as I normally do since I have experienced wet...

The metal line had rusted in the vinyl/plastic quick connect to the vinyl line to the tank. I had to pry it off and that left a little 3/8 black vinyl ring on the metal line in the zone beyond the locking ring. I dug out one rubber o ring, cleaned it off, lubed with silicone grease and put back...

What do you do to help prevent/stop rust on your car/underbody? Around this time I usually just sand it off and throw some rust converter on it until I can do something a little more permanent in the summer. Pretty useless to do anything more than that in my opinion.. especially with the harsh...

I am moving from Mass. to Denver and wanted to put a hitch on my 98 Lesabre to tow a 5x8 Uhaul trailer. The Uhaul guy said there was too much rust and he couldn't install the hitch, and that it might damage the car. My own mechanic said that he could put the hitch on. I'm concerned about safety...

I know this is extremely common up north with all the salt on these cars. I have free parts at the junkyard so parts are not an issue. I found a whole new set of bushings, bolts, and cups almost brand new on another Lesabre. My question is why did the steering go out? Nothing looks broke under...
