99 windstar engine cradle rusted broken due to a.c. drip
 

The engine cradle on the passenger side of my 99 windstar has rusted to the point it is completely broken due to the air conditioning drain dripping on it. All other mounts look like new. It is undrivable. I can not believe an eight year old vehicle should have frame trouble. Anyone else having similar problems? Please look at your cradle mounts. This is an accident waiting to happen!

Thanks for the info..

Did you ever take any pictures of the damaged area?

I just discovered that my cradle is rusted through & broken on the rear-passenger corner! Dang!

I've seen some used cradles for sale for $300-$450. It's just going to be a big job to replace it, isn't it? The local shop wants $1200 for parts + labor (6 hours).
