Picked up a 1999 Protege with a really clean interior, exterior wasn't too bad. Took a peak underneath, which didn't look too bad.
However, a few months down the road and I've got the car up on jack stands and the front cross member/Engine cradle is really rotted out on the passenger side.

Sourcing a used one has been problematic so far...
cb073480xc is the part number listed on realmazdaparts.com for a 1999
cb073480xe is the part number listed on realmazdaparts.com for a 2001-2003

Both of the pictures listed on this site are identical.

The 626 front crossmember/engine cradle also looks to be the same...

I'm looking at this https://www.ebay.com/itm/25497453020...gAAOSwSlpga1XH

Appreciate any info and help on this, thanks.
