Rear beam corrosion with poly bushes

[Jim Bowen 1]

Removed my rear beam and bushes, i had the powerflex ones, must of gone in about 4yrs ago. When i removed the old standard bushes there was no corrosion in the mounting points. Just removed the powerflex ones and was lots of rust, took ages to get the bushes out.

 

 

I started to knock the rust out with a hammer and screw driver and found a hole.

 

 

 

The metal is rotten, so need a new beam now, (and will be using standard bushes)

Looks like localised corrosion which only got worse. That's a bugger.
