I did the repair to these the same way I did on of the rear mounts, as explained <a title=\"rear body mount repair\" href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/25\/rear-body-mounts\">here<\/a>. But I never was happy with that repair. I figured that when it came time to bolt the body back on the frame, these nuts being welded solid were going to cause a lot of headaches. After a few sleepless nights worrying about the repair, I decided to re-do them. My dad found these new caged nut patch panels for me, they are the perfect item for this repair! This caged nut will allow the body bolts to have some &#8220;play&#8221; to make the installation easier, just like factory! To install them, I cut the top (ok bottom) of the brace open to expose the inner brace, a U shaped piece that is welded to the floor. I then cut the end of the brace off and replaced it with the caged nut. Granted, the steel on the new piece is not as heavy guage as the original brace, but its close enough&#8230; I figured, what would fail first in the event of an accident? The end of that brace, or the thin sheetmetal floor that it is welded to? My thoughts exactly. Also, unlike the original, the repaired brace now is also the part you see, its not covered with thin sheet metal like before. Once it was all welded and ground smooth, I dressed it in Duraglass (fiberglass reinforced filler).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>UPDATE!!\u00a0<\/strong> These repair panels are now available for sale&#8230; see the blog entry for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/149\/body-mount-repair-panels\">March 2, 2009<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.60impala.com\/arc\/BodyMountRepair1.jpg\" alt=\"Previous repair of body mount\" title=\"Previous repair of body mount\"\/><figcaption>The original plug-welded repair, and the new patch panel awaiting installation.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.60impala.com\/arc\/BodyMountRepair2.jpg\" alt=\"Body mount brace covering cut open\" title=\"Body mount brace covering cut open\"\/><figcaption>Bottom of the brace cover, cut out to expose the inner brace.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.60impala.com\/arc\/BodyMountRepair3.jpg\" alt=\"Old bracket cut out\" title=\"Old bracket cut out\"\/><figcaption>The inner brace now cut out.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.60impala.com\/arc\/BodyMountRepair4.jpg\" alt=\"Welded in but not finished\" title=\"Welded in but not finished\"\/><figcaption>The new caged nut patch panel welded to the inner brace.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.60impala.com\/arc\/BodyMountRepair5.jpg\" alt=\"Rear body mount welded in and finished\" title=\"Rear body mount welded in and finished\"\/><figcaption>The patch welded to the outer brace skin and ground smooth.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previously I had repaired the body mounts that are located just above the rear axle&#8230; the caged nuts inside had spun loose out of their cage and became useless (thank you rust!).
