I'm in the process of replacing my front subframe bushings. Yesterday I went to replace the final bushing; the driver's side rear. When I pulled back my carpet to remove the bracket I found that some *genius* decided it would be a good idea to try and fix the separated rubber bushing himself instead of replacing it. What he did was drill a hole through the bracket on the floor through the floor and through the entire bushing. Then he ran a bolt through everything. The bolt has since snapped off and only the end which was on the floor under my carpet remained.
-How should I repair this hole in my floor? Should I simply spray it with some undercoat to protect it from rust and put the new bushing over the hole?
-Should I replace the bracket since there is a hole in it? The hole isn't very big. I'll take a pic of it tonight and post it on this thread.
-Also - there was a large piece of tape over the brackets on both sides. I'm assuming this was installed (at the factory?) to seal out moisture, etc. Should I replace this? If so, where can I find a replacement (since mine now has a hole in it).
