I own an 03 Honda Element which has been a great car. 250,000+ miles,body OK, engine still strong, still life in car; but, the under frame has rusted out (Michigan road salt?) underneath, so the rear axle mounts have given way. Rear Wheels are flaring out now. Have you got any experience with this issue? I’ve heard it’s now a problem on other older Elements? Can it be repaired? Can the framework be replaced so that the axle mounts be re-secured??

Figured you might know with all your Honda Element experience? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!
