And from the mechanics' description, either the subframe mount rubbers are shot (normal expected behavior after 20 years), or the chassis is rusting out around the holes where the mounts bolt up (can fail softly like worn mounts, or maybe catastrophically under extreme loads). How far downhill is LarryT? Is it just a matter of waiting until his knee is working again before ripping the subframe out of a car and replacing wheel bearings and all suspension bushings, or are his days of major car projects gone forever? The wheel bearings will be a very cheap job if Larry can just walk the bare hubs into the shop.
