Sorry, it's my 83 300td I am talking about. The "slit" is followwing the curve of the rear spring, which naturally is putting pressure on it. I suppose what didn't help was I recntly made 3 different trips to Home Depot, loading up with about 650 lbs of retaining wall block. Now that I have seen this rust problem, that will be the last time I do that Fortunately we have another TD to do any heavy hualing. Is replacing this something one can do in driveway/garage? I wold have to get with my indie and see if they would install a used part like this.
