On the 1990-2004 Chevrolet Tracker, the body-on-frame Tracker has significant rust issues, particularly on the frame rails, body mounts, and rear wheel arches. In northern climates, the frame can rust through to the point of being unsafe for road use. The small dimensions and thin metal make the Tracker especially vulnerable to corrosion.

Common Symptoms

  • Visible rust on frame rails
  • Body mount looseness
  • Rust holes in fenders and quarter panels
  • Failed safety inspection

How to Fix

Have the frame inspected by a professional, especially at the body mount locations and near the rear suspension. Localized frame rust can be cut out and plated with welded-in reinforcement. Apply rust converter and frame coating to slow progression. If frame rails are perforated in structural areas, the vehicle should be retired from road use.

Typical repair cost:$500 - $2,500
