if it’s severe, i’d say get a new frame rail, cut old one and weld new one on. i don’t know what your question is intended for… so i’ll just shoot some shit if u have rusty frame rails, you will not pass safety, cops will love harassing you for “driving unsafe vehicle” (if they do see it). i’ve driven a couple 240s with rusted frame but doesn’t seem to affect the ride quality? ---
