Question
I have a 95 maxima with some rust thru on the left to right radiador support where the engine support mounts to it with 2 bolts. There doesn't seem to be any movement on the engine suport , can this be repaired ?  Is it a costly job ?  

Answer
Without seeing it, I really can't tell you. From what you've described it could be a $200 job or a $2000 job. It's really going to depend on how bad the rust it, where it is exactly, whether the panels can be repaired or need to be replaced and whether they can be replaced with or without removing the engine and transmission and/or any suspension. Sorry I don't have a yes or no answer or any dollar figures, but the best thing I could recommend would be to see a local body shop for advice. Most shops don't charge for estimates and would be more than happy to look at it and make a recommendation.
