    Mazda too... 01-06ish mazdas used to show rot after just 2 years. We have about 4-5 months of salty roads so that pobably didnt help. I hate rot... cancer for cars...

    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Mazda, ...Ford, ...same thing really, ...for example the small trucks.

    I've come accross a few s-10's that the rad support was rotted out at the lower sections as well, ...think that might be common on many trucks.
    As Sparrow suggested, they are a common item in aftermarket body metal supply lists.
